EXPERIENCEit, a new event designed to support the growing market for experiential events in Scotland, will be held at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC) on 8 February 2024.
EXPERIENCEit, launched by EVENTIT, aims to bring together organisations and individuals from the creative marketing and communications, film, entertainment, sport, festivals and business events sector to discuss, share and showcase how to create events with greater impact both for the attendee and the wider environment and community.
Kim Myhre, founder of Experience Designed and EVENTIT board member, said: “These are really exciting times in the brand experience business. Changing audience expectations, new technologies, and more strategic approaches to experience design are driving innovation and creating new opportunities. Events like EXPERIENCEit offer a chance for the experience marketing community to come together to share, learn, network and do business in the emerging experiences marketplace.”
Events director, Judith Wilson, said that the event will focus on creativity, technology, sustainability, wellbeing and diversity. “Our partners will create immersive and experiential activities, offering attendees a glimpse into the future of event experiences,” they added.
Attendees can expect keynote sessions from UK agencies, tour groups led by industry professionals providing insights into all the exhibits, interactive games and activities, audience led campfire sessions, as well as a variety of experience solutions.
The experience economy is set to increase in value to £9.6tn ($12tn) by 2028 according to the World Experience Summit.
