The Unstoppable Rise of Functional Experiences

What if the most powerful experiences don’t just entertain us but change how we feel, think, and act?
Join WXO and Pixel Artworks for a special IRL Campfire exploring Functional Experiences: an emerging shift in the Experience Economy where immersive design, technology, sound, space, and storytelling are used not just for spectacle, but for lasting human impact.
Hosted at the The Lighthouse, this intimate industry gathering will bring together experience professionals to explore how brands and creators can design experiences that outlast the moment – from spatial audio and sensory environments to transformative, wellbeing-led and behaviour-shifting encounters.
Expect a thought-provoking discussion, examples from the cutting edge of experiential design, and plenty of time to connect with the WXO community inside Pixel Artworks’ immersive studio.
