SUMMARY:Designing for Reality: Using Digital Twins to De-Risk Live Experiences
DESCRIPTION:Experience design teams struggle to justify technology spend beyond the “wow.”  \nThis session shows how digital twins are different from flashy demos— they are practical decision engines that reduce risk\, control budgets\, and improve guest outcomes. \nWith the help of the audience’s input\, Michael Libby demonstrates a live digital twin built in real-time\, incorporating crowd flow\, capacity\, and creative constraints. \nAttendees will learn a repeatable framework for using simulation to test ideas BEFORE steel is cut—turning tech into a measurable creative advantage\, not an expensive experiment. \nKey takeaways: \n\nA Digital Twin Readiness Checklist to assess when simulation adds real value\nA Pre-Build Simulation Workflow teams can apply immediately\nA stakeholder-friendly way to explain tech choices using evidence\nA Tech ROI Scorecard linking creative intent to operational metrics

SUMMARY:Roundtable: Memories That Last? | The Future of Experiential Hospitality
DESCRIPTION:Full guest list to come. Please come along and join in the debate with our expert panel.\n \n  \n\n  \nTitle: Memories That Last? | The Future of Experiential Hospitality \nA Business of Experience Roundtable \nHost: Jenna Matecki (AMARIMA) \nDescription: \nAny hotel can sell a room\, and pressures on margins – from OTAs\, costs\, and competition – is only ever going to get more intense. As so many realise\, the answer is to differentiate through the moments and memories that people have when they stay with you. From\, in other words\, the experiences people have. \nBut while the idea of experiential travel – transformative travel\, even – is everywhere\, it’s much harder to do than say. \nSo what does it actually take to deliver an experience people remember\, tell their friends about\, and come back for? \nKey Questions: \n\nWhat does an experiential hotel look like in practice\, not just in marketing?\nWho’s doing this well? What can we learn from them?\nHow do you design experiences that drive both satisfaction and revenue?\nWhat role should F&B\, programming\, and partnerships play?\nHow do you operationalise experience across teams and locations?\nWhere does tech help? Where does it get in the way?\nWhen it comes to experiences\, how can you balance consistency with uniqueness? How can you balance scale with memorability?\n\nWhat You’ll Come Out Of This Roundtable With: \nA clearer view of what “experiential hospitality” actually means in practice – and how you can design\, deliver\, and scale experiences that guests value and deliver measurable value for your bottom line.

SUMMARY:Roundtable: The Art of Listening | Music & the Experience Economy
DESCRIPTION:Full guest list to come. Please come along and join in the debate with our expert panel.\n \n  \n\n  \nTitle: The Art of Listening \nA Business of Experience Roundtable \nHost: Keith Jopling (CCed)\, author of Body Of Work and Riding The Rollercoaster\, host of The Art of Longevity and ex Sony Music\, EMI and Spotify. \nDescription: One the one hand – music is one of the most powerful forms of experience design. It shapes emotion\, controls attention\, builds community. It drives repeat behaviour. And yet\, most experience creators underuse and misunderstand sound. \nOn the other – the music industry is going through huge changes: the fall of clubbing\, challenges for smaller venues\, the rise and economic impact of mega residencies\, the rise of listening rooms and high-end audio experiences. \nSo where does experience design fit in with the future of music? \nThis session brings together people from music\, audio\, and experience design to explore what happens when sound is treated not as decoration\, but as core infrastructure. And how the broader idea of experience design is becoming ever more important to the music industry. \nKey Questions: \n\nWhat can experience designers learn from how music creates emotion and memory?\nWhat can the music industry learn from the wider world of experience design – in terms of engaging and monetising the product?\nHow do you design sound as part of the experience – not just an add-on? What are the best examples of sound-led experiences\nHow do live music formats translate into other experience categories?\nWhat role does sound play in dwell time\, behaviour\, and repeat visits?\nWhere do most experiences get audio wrong?\nHow is spatial audio changing what’s possible?\n\nWhat You’ll Come Out Of This Roundtable With: \nConcrete tactics to use sound as a design tool\, and practical ways to integrate it into your experiences.

SUMMARY:Elvis Evolution: Lessons From a Data-led Redesign
DESCRIPTION:When Elvis Evolution first launched\, it faced unexpectedly intense and polarized reactions. In response\, Layered Reality initiated a thoughtful redesign and teamed up with Cavea to measure what really needed to change and if those changes worked. \nBy mapping the show’s emotional arc and analyzing second by second audience reactions before and after\, we uncovered not just improvements\, but also bigger questions about the role and risk of certain IPs in live experiences. \nJoin Cavea’s Joe Timson and Layered Reality’s Amy Farrant to explore these insights and what they mean for the future of IP-led immersive experiences. \nTo see Cavea’s and Layered Reality’s work live\, head to the Elvis Evolution page on our Experience Safari for the chance to attend a full VIP experience/show/QA package or get 50% off tickets for selected Thurs\, Fri and Sun shows during London Experience Week. \nKey takeaways: \n\nA frontline playbook for responding to unexpected audience reaction: How to move from polarised feedback and negative reviews to structured learning\, without panic\, defensiveness\, or overcorrecting creatively.\nAn introduction to emotion analytics as a diagnostic tool for creative impact: How emotional response data can be used to map the arc of a live experience\, test creative assumptions\, and validate whether a redesign has addressed the right problems.\nCritical lessons on IP\, fandom\, and risk in immersive entertainment: What this case reveals about how different types of IP shape audience expectations\, where immersive formats struggle with emotionally charged fandoms\, and how to assess risk.

SUMMARY:Bompas & Parr: Inside Allen Ginsberg’s Fridge
DESCRIPTION:The companion session to Monday night’s Allen Ginsberg’s Fridge at Bompas & Parr. \nHosted by the incomparable Sam Bompas and Rob Smith of Bompas & Parr\, more tales of refrigerated drinks and our imminent future of food. Served fresh with the glistening condensation of futurity \nHave you ever wondered how Marie Antoinette’s Pleasure Dairies might inspire how we consume the fresh products of tomorrow? Or considered what new approaches to nocturnal drinking might better support the sensorial realm of attractions. \nThis session will present the future of the food and drink developed by Bompas & Parr’s strategy and insights team. There will be tasters for your experienced palate. \nFor details on how to book Monday’s Studio Visit to Bompas & Parr including Allen Ginsberg’s Fridge\, visit: https://londonexperienceweek.com/event/bompas-parr-studio-visit/  \nFor details on how to book Friday’s My Lady Nicotine exhibition at Bompas & Parr\, visit: https://londonexperienceweek.com/event/bompas-parr-my-lady-nicotine/ \n  \n\n  \nAllen Ginsberg’s Fridge at Bompas & Parr \nIn 1960 Allen Ginsberg had two pictures taped to his fridge – one of Baudelaire\, the other of Poe. These galvanised his writing each time he went for a cooled snack. \nJoin us for a rambunctious and poetic evening of refrigerated drinks and creative camaraderie. We’ll look at networks of inspiration and where ideas come from\, the catalytic entities you have taped to your fridge and food as a site for emotive experiences. \nOn Ginsberg’s death\, the only items remaining in his apartment once the contents were auctioned and the archive went to Stamford were two tins of his frozen fish chowder. Refused by the Met and Guggenheim\, rescued after a brownout on the Lower East Side\, the soup tins were eventually exhibited in the Museum of Jurassic Technology. \nThe evening will feature: \n\nArdent spirits that foster creativity\nPoetry around a fridge\nFish chowder based on Ginsberg’s recipe\, itself drawn from Rochelle Kraut’s scrod\nCreating experiences with literary IPs\nNotes towards which weird items should be preserved in museums\nSpoons

SUMMARY:Bridge Command - the Most Repeatable Experience in the World? How to Create\, Maintain and Harness the Power of a Cult Following
DESCRIPTION:Bridge Command is entering its third year of operation with a hyper-engaged fan base – some of whom have attended over a hundred times.  \nIt has proven that an immersive experience does not have to have the broadest possible appeal to achieve success\, and has become a masterclass in how to build an experience on a niche interest catering to significantly smaller audience sizes than immersive experiences commonly rely on. \nIn 30 minutes\, Owen will walk you through how Bridge Command has developed\, maintained and grown that core fan base\, and the benefits that have come from this approach. \n

SUMMARY:Experience Design for a Better World

SUMMARY:The Shape of Memory
DESCRIPTION:The Shape of Memory is an Audio and Visual installation first launched at the Royal Albert Hall by Max Cooper & Factory Fifteen.  \nMemory has a special aesthetic quality\, being rewritten each time it’s recalled and being somewhat skewed\, particular details in high resolution; others in low or entirely missing \nThe Shape of Memory looks to explore the fickle and often fragmented nature of our memories. Exploring the visual language behind our memories from our most fond to the mundane\, in which some parts can be entirely in focus while others are always somehow just out of reach. \nWhere the lines between one memory and another blur to create entirely fictitious memories of our minds creation until it’s impossible to know where one stops and another begins. \nThank to Paul Nicholls\, Pete Rey and all at Factory Fifteen for their help in launching this exclusive installation at London Experience Week 2026. \n—————- \nAbout Max Cooper: \nMax Cooper is an electronic composer\, multi-disciplinary artist\, music label founder and former scientist who has carved out a unique space in music and visual art. \nHe holds a PhD in computational biology at the same time as being the first contemporary electronic musician to perform at the ancient Acropolis theatre in Athens and one of the first clutch of musicians to produce in Dolby Atmos. Cooper has enquired forover 15 years through music\, collaborations\, and his label Mesh\, to explore the intersections between the arts and sciences with installations\, performances\, immersive experiences\, online media\, music videos and live events. \nAnchored throughout is his emotive approach\, connecting how ideas and forms feel\, in a manner accessible to us all. “I’ve always had a strong emotive bond with aesthetics\, and found at an early age that the purified forms of electronic music carried a lot of weight for me\, as did the reductive natural aesthetics of the sciences. That felt connection to both opened up a world I’ve been lost in ever since.” \nPivoting from computational biology to electronic music might not seem like the most natural career transition\, but for Cooper the commonalities are obvious: “In both fields\, you’re in a sense\, free. Free from the limits of living systems\, free from the limits of corporeal sound. The only constraints are in your mind.” \nMax Cooper has collaborated with Zaha Hadid Architects\, Dolby\, L-Acoustics\, 4DSOUND\, Barbican Centre\, W1 Curates\, The Babraham Institute and exhibited work at museums including the Pompidou Metz\, ZKM Karlsruhe\, Museum Wave Seoul and The Science Museum London. \nDiscover more at www.maxcooper.net \nAbout Factory Fifteen: \nFactory Fifteen are a film and experience design studio led by Bafta and Emmy award winning directors. They create extraordinary cinematic worlds and live experiences for innovative brands and cultural institutions. \nRecent experiential case studies include the UFC and Backstreet Boys events at Sphere\, Max Cooper’s Royal Albert Hall show\, ‘Kia Joyride experience’ at St Judes Cancer Research Hospital and the ‘Reve Des Lumiere’ in Tokyo Dream Park. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Worldbuilding the World
DESCRIPTION:In this inspiring keynote\, Abraham Burickson—architect\, founder\, and artistic director of Odyssey Works—shares his unique vision of experience design.  \nWhat if experience design was not just about creating memorable moments\, but a tool to transform our very relationship with the world? \nHow might we craft experiences that go beyond entertainment to deeply move and connect with individuals? \nFrom his journeys in the Amazon\, to multi-month immersive creations designed for a single participant\, to explorations with whirling dervishes\, Burickson continuously pushes the boundaries of what an experience can be. \nThis keynote offers a rare opportunity to understand how design can become a vector of both personal and collective transformation\, and how empathy\, intention\, and imagination can quite literally reshape the world we share.

SUMMARY:Worlds Not Walls: 7 Principles for Turning Attractions into Playable Worlds
DESCRIPTION:In the modern Experience Economy\, passive entertainment is a wall.  \nModern “Play Native” audiences want to break through that barrier to inhabit “playable worlds” where their presence matters. \nThis session is an authorised deep dive into PRELOADED’s “7 Principles for Bringing Play to Attractions.” \nUsing the Playful Experience Design (PXD) framework\, we explore how to move from “showing” a story to “hosting” an ecosystem. \nLearn how to transform static attractions into living environments where guests aren’t just visitors\, they are protagonists of a world built for play\, agency\, and human connection. \nKey takeaways: \n\nDismantling the Barrier: Master the “Low Thresholds\, Wide Walls\, High Ceilings” model to invite everyone in while providing infinite depth for the most curious players.\nNarrative as Instruction: Shift from reading rules to discovering the world: replace traditional manuals with diegetic instruction. By leveraging environmental storytelling instead of intrusive tutorials\, the game uses the world itself to signal mechanics and guide player progression.\nEngineering Social Connectivity: Leverage the “Eyes-Up Play” principle to prioritise physical\, human-to-human interaction over digital screen distraction.\nThe invisible tech filter: Learn to apply a narrative filter to technology and sets\, ensuring every element reinforces the world’s internal logic rather than breaking the spell.

SUMMARY:Managing Audience Flow in Ambitious Attractions
DESCRIPTION:Audiences in immersive and interactive shows don’t want to feel like they’re on rails. To deliver the best experience\, a dynamic approach to audience flow control is required to let audiences retain their sense of agency while keeping a show on track. \nDelivering this while maintaining operational control and maximising throughput requires careful attention and novel technology. There is no ‘one size fits all’ approach but there are tried and tested techniques that we’ve developed over many years working on large scale interactive experiences. \nWe’ll look at various flavours of this problem we’ve solved for shows such as The Paddington Bear Experience\, Saw: Escape Experience and The Traitors: Live Experience. \nWe’ll demonstrate how with COGS we’re able to adapt to any requirements\, from strict time-of-day based audience pulses to completely dynamic start and finish times. We can build in rich operator controls such as room-by-room management\, targeted show pausing and actor feedback mechanisms. \nKey takeaways: \n\nThe different approaches to audience management being used in today’s attractions\nHow a dynamic approach to audience flow can heighten the experience for the audience\nHow to build a show with enough operational flexibility to handle the unexpected behaviours of real audiences

SUMMARY:Roundtable: The Best Experiences in the World Are Made by People Who've Never Met
DESCRIPTION:Full guest list to come. Please come along and join in the debate with our expert panel. \n  \n\n  \nTitle: The Best Experiences in the World Are Made by People Who’ve Never Met \nA Business of Experience Roundtable \nHost: David Botchey \nDescription: The experience industry talks endlessly about collaboration\, but the reality is that the studios making the content\, the designers building the worlds\, the technologists engineering the moments and the brands funding it all are still largely working in parallel\, not together. \nThe results are incredible. \nNow imagine what happens when they actually converge. \nDavid Botchey sits at that intersection every day\, one foot in games and VFX\, one foot in experiential and immersive. What he’s seeing seeing is that the next generation of experiences won’t be built by one brilliant team. They’ll be built by ecosystems. \nThe question is who’s building those ecosystems now\, and how. \nNot a case study\, more a real world provocation. Come and join David and guests at London Experience Week. \nKey Questions: \n\nWhere do the biggest breakdowns happen between studios\, designers\, technologists\, and brands?\nWho is actually working well across these boundaries today? What are they doing differently?\nWhat does a high-functioning experience ecosystem look like in practice?\nAt what point should each discipline enter the process? What happens when they’re brought in too late?\nHow do you align creative ambition\, technical feasibility\, and commercial reality from the start?\nWhat structures\, partnerships\, or ways of working actually enable better collaboration?\nWhat should we stop doing because it consistently leads to poor outcomes?\n\nWhat You’ll Come Out Of This Roundtable With \nPractical ways to collaborate more effectively across disciplines to create better\, faster\, and more commercially successful experiences.

SUMMARY:How DMOs Fund\, Scale\, and Prove Partner-Led Experiences Without Owning Them
DESCRIPTION:Most destination experiences live or die in the gap between great storytelling and operational reality.  \nDMOs don’t “own” experiences—but they can be the producer: funding what’s needed\, building a partner pipeline\, distributing demand\, and proving impact in the language of hotel stays\, visitation\, and community benefit. \nIn this hands-on session\, you’ll learn a repeatable Destination–Experience Flywheel (pipeline → readiness → investment → distribution → measurement) that turns local stories into visit-worthy\, bookable experiences. \nYou’ll leave with a one-page canvas and a starter ROI/ROX dashboard you can use immediately. \nKey takeaways: \n\nDMO–Partner Experience Deal Canvas (1-page): roles\, boundaries\, quality standards\, staffing/training needs\, and governance so the partner owns delivery while the DMO supports scale.\nExperience Readiness Checklist: a go/no-go tool to assess capacity\, consistency\, accessibility\, booking flow\, and on-site “performance” requirements before marketing.\nExperience Capital Funding Stack Map: what a DMO can fund vs. what the partner funds\, plus where grants\, placemaking partners\, and sponsors fit.\nROI/ROX Mini Dashboard Template: a simple measurement set linking visitation/room nights/spend to community outcomes and resident sentiment signals.\n90-Day Pilot Plan: timeline and milestones for testing\, training\, launch\, measurement\, and iteration—so experiences improve without burning partners out.
