The Science Behind epicMeets

Driven by Research. Designed for Results.
R and T

epicMeets combines cutting-edge behavioral and cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and visual communication research to create facilitation tools and meeting solutions that genuinely enhance team collaboration, innovation, and productivity.

How epicMeets Was Born

Four years ago, Robin and Thomas, the co-founders of epicMeets, set out with a bold mission: to change the way people work, communicate, and process information. With Robin’s extensive background in facilitation, strategic management, and research, and Thomas’s deep experience in meetings and business, they quickly realized that traditional ways of working were missing something essential.

They uncovered key principles that now shape everything we build at epicMeets:

  • Simple structure and systematics have a significant impact on meetings.
  • Humans naturally think in visuals, not just words.
  • With the correct data, people will learn from every meeting.
  • Stories make communication memorable and meaningful.
  • A psychologically safe environment is essential for real collaboration.
  • Memory isn’t about storage – it’s about experience and emotional engagement.

These insights didn’t just inspire our tools; they sparked a research journey that evolved into the Visentools project at Aalto University in Finland (2023–2024), bridging academic research and real-world business needs. 

At epicMeets, everything we create is designed to work with human nature, not against it.

Meetings Designed Around Human Behavior.

Our tools integrate proven behavioral and cognitive psychology principles, optimizing meetings for maximum participant engagement, motivation, and interaction.

  • Active Participation: Focus and interaction trigger higher engagement, ensuring participants are involved and attentive.
  • Emotional Connection: Visual metaphors and symbolic objects stimulate emotional resonance, boosting creative and empathetic thinking.
  • Inclusivity & Psychological Safety: epicMeets methods actively encourage participation from quieter voices, creating a safe and inclusive environment.
