Highlights
After turning heads in Scotland, we brought that same buzz to Manchester
After turning heads in Scotland at EXPERIENCEit, February 2025, we brought that same buzz to Manchester, a city bursting with creativity, culture, and opportunity.
Check out what we got up to over the two days below.
Day one
Tuesday 22nd July, Whitworth Locke

Gen Z Are Calling The Shots
Sponsored by Klarent Hospitality
This power-packed, half-day workshop – sponsored by Klarent Hospitality and led by Robert Dunsmore – was designed for event professionals who want to stop guessing and start connecting with the next generation of attendees.
We heard directly from Gen Z voices about what gets them to show up at events, and what turns them off.
We rolled up our sleeves in small group sessions, and reworked the traditional format of the World Economic Forum and turned it into experiences that Gen Z actually wants.

Day two
Wednesday 23rd July, Diecast
On day 2 we had blue-sky ideas from inspiring headline speakers, next-level networking, 30+ standout exhibitors, wellness breaks (yes, disco yoga is back!), and mouthwatering eats to keep us going strong.
