ORGANIZATION
The WXO is the world’s first and only organization to connect innovators from all experience sectors.
We believe that when individual experience thought-leaders share their stories, tools and insights, we can collectively raise the impact of experiences to increase profit, improve wellbeing, and create a better society.
Together, we’ll discover what the Experience Economy needs, where it’s heading – and most importantly, what it takes to design and deliver a great experience.
Join 500+ experience creators in 39 countries. Join the WXO.

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
The world’s first playground for global experience pioneers to connect, learn and share the Art, Science, Business of tomorrow’s Experience Revolution. The WXO has now run more than 150 weekly virtual Campfires to champion and challenge the pioneers at the forefront of this revolution, many of which are available to view on-demand.

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.
