CONNECT With Experts

The Summit is the opposite of a ‘them vs us’ keynote conference. Instead, it’s a community. Connect over coffee, in workshops, or in debate at the Unconference.

MEET Partners

Digital is awesome, but nothing beats real life connections. Reconnect with old friends. Meet new investors. Explore future collaborations.

What's On?

  • Experience Workshops

    Learn how to design, make, operate, pitch, and promote successful experiences at workshops run by some of the world's leading experience experts.

  • The Unconference

    A huge success last year! There's more emerging practice than best practice in the Experience Economy — so everyone’s invited to share their case studies, failures, and opinions. Start a discussion or have a rant. Share a new approach, try out a new idea, or teach a technique.

  • Big Ideas, Weird Ideas, Experience Trends

    TED-style (and shorter!) talks on the Art, Science, Business, Tech & Impact of Experiences. Speakers range from famous experience creators to up-and-coming live-wires you haven’t heard of yet.

  • Experiential Socials

    The best connections and most business decisions happen at the bar or on the dancefloor. There will be plenty of opportunities to hang out, dress up, dress down, and even – because the neuroscience is hard to ignore – dance and sing.

  • Speed-Dating & Match-Making

    Anyone for gamified, experiential networking? From curated to 100% free-flow, there'll be plenty of opportunities to connect with the experience community.

  • Immersive Experiences

    Visit a handpicked selection of New York’s most exciting experiences with your new experience friends. After, we’ll analyse the good and the bad of what you saw, and which techniques you might use in your own work.

Who's Speaking?
