MY STORY
I'm Jacques Martiquet—on a mission to empower leaders to light up the world by becoming shamelessly joyful & fearlessly confident. I discovered my mission after saving countless teenagers' lives as a festival medic.
speaking
LIGHT PEOPLE Up
How do you maximize the value of coming together? Not with boring welcoming remarks... Imagine young and old, introverts and extroverts engaging, putting down their phones, and connecting in ways they haven't before. Imagine them telling you this, like I was told after one of my keynotes: "You felt like you knew everyone in the room, you did a really nice job."

event Consulting
What people forget is that I've produced hundreds of events — from adult summer camps, to sober raves, to conferences, to group lunches. I've scaled JoyCamp to a 6-figure event brand. The secret to creating raving fans who show up over and over again is this: Optimize the experience for raw, real, rejuvenating human connection. Let me show you how.

The Story of Jacques
the party scientist
For years, I was a party medic for festivals and university events. I witnessed the consequences of drugs and alcohol. Then, I devoted my life to showing people how to create their own joy. In Vancouver, Canada, I host dozens of "Joyraves" and operate a Longevity Club called Don't Die.
