SUMMARY:Collaboration Campfire #1 (Jan 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Introducing WXO Collaboration Campfires\n\nA confidential\, member-led clinic to workshop live projects and share practical advice. Bring a challenge\, leave with practical next steps. \nAlongside toolkits\, frameworks and case studies from the Experience Economy’s brightest minds\, WXO Campfires are also valued for the quality of the attendees as much as the guest voices. Practitioners who are generous with their thinking and direct with their advice. \nA community of creators coming together\, sharing the air about their current projects before taking practical insights and inspiration from that week’s sessions away to solve the challenges they’re facing right now \nWe hear of so many collaborations born from our Campfires. Attendees going from a scribbled note in a breakout discussion to a post-Campfire partnership that simply would not have happened without that Campfire. \nAnd so to Collaboration Campfires. \nThis week’s early Campfire session is a test of a brand-new format. \nThink of it as a practical working session\, led by attendees rather than guest speakers. The aim is simple: help each other move current projects forward. \n\n\nHow it works: \n• No special guests – the expertise is in the room.\n• Bring one challenge from a live project. Keep it specific: what you’re doing\, what’s stuck\, and the kind of help you’re asking for (ideas\, references\, critiques\, introductions\, etc.).\n• Simply share your challenge and exactly what help you need.\n• No deck required. A clear brief is enough.\n• This is time-boxed\, chaired discussion. Each challenge gets the time it needs\, up to 15 minutes.\n• We’ll go round the group until we reach the end of the list or the 90-minute limit.\n• No challenge this week? Come anyway – the session only works if people bring their experience\, judgement and candour. We’d love you to come along and contribute your expertise. \n\n\nA note on confidentiality: Because we’ll be discussing live work that may need to stay behind closed doors\, recordings will be shared only with attendees\, not released to the wider WXO community. \n\n\nThat’s it. This is a pilot. If it works\, we’ll make it a regular feature (without over-engineering it). If it doesn’t\, we’ll revert to the standard Campfire format. Either way\, we’d like to test it properly – by getting the right mix of challenges and contributors in the room. \n\n\nWe hope to see you there. \n\n\n \n  \n\n  \nHow to watch this Campfire:\n\nCampfires are available for WXO members only\nTo join the WXO\, please head to our Application page\nThe WXO is a global home for the leaders\, shapers and doers in the Experience Economy\nAs a member\, you’ll get live access to Campfires like this one plus unlock an on demand library of over 100 Campfire recordings\n\n  \n\n  \nTimings:\nCampfire #1 is suitable for those in the APAC region or Europe\, but everyone is welcome!
