Lisa Spira

Room Escape Artist

Lisa is the most experienced escape room event organizer in the world, and has been since founding Room Escape Artist with David in 2014. She has organized everything from casual meetups, to Escape Immerse Explore Tours that bring 100+ people to internationally renowned escape room destinations. And of course, organizing this convention.

She believes that the industry needs a dedicated event for learning, challenging assumptions, and community building. She brings a data-driven approach to event creation, given her professional expertise leading innovation teams creating products driven by enormous amounts of data, machine learning, and AI.

Lisa is most involved in RECON’s logistics, scheduling, and the behind the scenes minutia that nobody sees… but minding the hidden details is her super power, and makes events run smoothly. She also supports RECON’s internal and external communication, making sure everyone is tuned in to key details. Most importantly, she is the team’s practical problem solver.

Luckily, we have secured a second, smaller block of rooms at Le St-Martin Hôtel & Suites. This is a 5-minute drive away from the RECON venue. If you missed out on the original room block, Le St-Martin Hôtel & Suites is our choice among the many hotels in the area. They are providing a special RECON rate of $209 CAD per night (plus taxes) that includes breakfast, wifi, and parking.
