Why We Exist

Founded in 2020 – with Co-Founders from Helsinki to Melbourne, Shanghai to San Francisco – the World Experience Organization (WXO) is a global institution dedicated to improving the quality of experiences, enhancing the opportunities for experience creators, and promoting the Experience Economy. Think of us at the World Economic Forum, but for experiences.

Our Mission
To connect and provoke the pioneers of the Experience Economy
To serve and grow the Experience Economy

 

Our Moonshot

Our Mission

What We Stand For

We’ve listened to people from around the world and across the Experience Economy. Based on what they’ve told us, we believe the WXO is most likely to be useful and fulfil its mission by delivering four key pillars: Content, Community, Commerce, and Champion.

Content

The ultimate sharing space for ideas, information and insights that help experience creators design, build and deliver show-stopping, life-affirming, better experiences. Think case studies and reviews, op-eds from pioneers in the field, experience trends and news, thought leadership and reports, and eventually education and training.

Community

The ultimate “campfire’” for Experience Economy experts across sectors to share their thoughts and challenges, challenge each other, and reach out for support. Think virtual and live events, an annual World Experience Summit, and online members-only platform to connect all year round with access to support, direct messaging, conversations and opportunities.

Commerce

The ultimate marketplace for organizations to find and hire the best-in-breed experience creators. Think a WXO Certification to create standards for the Experience Economy and support better experiences, and a WXO Accreditation to build trust in Experience Economy practitioners.

Champion

The ultimate voice for the Experience Economy, speaking for its critical importance and recognizing those who are truly pioneering its future. Think an annual WXO Awards and working groups such as Women in Experience (WiX) and Representation in Experience (RiX).

What We Offer

 

1. WXO Campfires

3. WXO PlayLabs

PlayLabs are a lot like Campfires, but with more direct “tool-based” short talks, followed by some practical co-creating. Each PlayLab focuses on a trending experience topic. They’re open to both full WXO Members and Emerging Talent & Student Members, so the next generation of talent can learn from the pioneers – and vice versa. 

4. WXO Socials

A more relaxed, online, monthly event run by our members and offering another chance to connect with global experience pioneers in a more informal setting.

5. World Experience Summit

For the first time ever, in June 2023 Experience Economy pioneers from around the globe and across all sectors came together IRL at the World Experience Summit in London to define the future of experiences. Our annual live event is set to return for its second edition in 2024.
