Call for hosts: AROUND THE WORLD IN 48 HOURS

Online 7 Experiences Summit 2025, September 29–30

EXPRESSO’s online 7X Summit in September 2025 will travel around the world in 48 hours, engaging with the academic cutting edge of experience research and transformative art experiences, all the while hobnobbing with the brightest minds in the business.

Our hosts on all continents invite you to submit your work on the key theme of Change. How is experience research changing in the mid-2020s, and what is it changing both within the academia and beyond it? What is the current impact of experience research on art and business, and what are the upcoming trends that will change the way we think about local and global experiences?

EXPRESSO is now looking for hosts to participate in arranging the summit content. The call is open for hosts from around the world to design their own session and join the ranks of current enthusiasts:

  • Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand
  • Tongji University, China
  • LAB University of Applied Sciences, Finland
  • University of Oulu, Finland
  • Brigham Young University, US

 

To draft your proposal, consider your preference in line with the following questions. We would expect your session to last for 2 to 4 hours on one of the summit days, so there is a whole range of options for your content streamed to the worldwide audience. Get your foot in the door of experience research:

  • What is your format – would you arrange a panel with presentations of experience research papers, potentially along with a keynote lecture given by an expert of your choice?
  • What is your genre – would you focus on academic research with presenters from diverse backgrounds, or would you engage with your participants from a practical perspective?
  • Who is your audience – are you looking for ties with business, art professionals, or the public sector, either locally or globally, or are you prioritizing the academic audience?
  • Who are your partners – are you providing your contribution in cooperation with an affiliate?
  • What are you planning for – is this an initiative gathering momentum for a future outcome?
  • ART INSTALLATIONS – would you like to design an online art exhibition to run for 48 hours and receive the attention of a worldwide audience in experience research?

 

Your proposal should be 1–2 pages long and answer the above questions used as criteria in evaluating the responses we receive. You should also indicate how you will manage possible expenses related to your session, who your main contact person in communicating with EXPRESSO will be, and what kind of previous experience you may have of hosting similar events, as well as any international recognition your host and responsible organizers may have attracted until the present moment.

EXPRESSO will provide a brand style guide for all hosts to follow in promoting and implementing their session. You will receive professional technical support. A dedicated website with the summit portal will be launched for streaming the sessions, complemented by the art installations and virtual meeting rooms for the participants to enjoy.

The deadline of the call is 31 Jan 2025. Submit your proposal at https://forms.gle/JX89iTXFXZXp3vBX9

The general call for papers will start in March once our hosts have been confirmed.
