EXPERIENCEit Bristol
Join us at EXPERIENCEit, where we’ll explore the power of experiences to connect, inspire, and transform. The event begins with an engaging talk on why experiences matter—uncovering how meaningful moments shape communities, brands, and futures. This will be followed by a hands-on mini workshop in event concept design, where you’ll learn to imagine and create for a desirable future rather than just a probable one. Whether you’re an events professional, creative, or curious mind, this is your chance to rethink what’s possible.
