We invite leaders in the realm of human connection and experience design for extraordinary residencies around the world.
From festival producers to spoken-word poets, architects to musicians, CEOs to experiential designers — we unite multi-disciplinary leaders shaping culture through the power of experiences.
The result? Magic.
This is your place to push boundaries, experiment with crazy ideas, and go for that thing that makes you nervous inside. No idea, talk, workshop, or project is “too much” or “too out there” — we’ll support you to experiment and dream big.
With attendee-led and produced programming, you can lean into the gifts, talents, and backgrounds of your cohort to co-create something extraordinary. We provide the space, resources, and guidelines — you bring the magic.
Ideate with the world’s most innovative and imaginative humans for an entire month. Fireside chats, impromptu dinner conversations, facilitated ideation sessions, and TED-style talks. The connections, collaborations, and ideas birthed at XH ripple outward to the world.
A balance of wild creativity and focused productivity. From dedicated co-working areas to recording studios, we give our people the space and tools to get their work done and unleash their creations to the world.
“Can this be important, but not serious?” Yes, we’re on a mission and we’re having the time of our lives while we’re at it. Volcano-top dance parties, lavish alter-ego dinners, spontaneous music jams — at Experience House there’ll never be a dull moment.
Our attendees are experience designers, event producers, community builders, artists, entrepreneurs, and technologists who share a passion for creating experiences that inspire awe and deepen human connection — both through live experiences and technology.
Each participant is hand-selected based on their unique gifts, areas of expertise, and values to ensure optimal group cohesion.
This is the most ‘right place at the right time’ for the longest amount of time I’ve ever felt in my life… I can’t believe you just gave me all the people I was looking for.
— Anya Sapozhnikova, Co-Founder of House of Yes
