Throughout the summer, the Jury will nominate, evaluate and select 10 of the first-ever XP Land XLIST honorees, who will meet specific criteria including having active experiential projects, developing innovative break-throughs, and elevating the experiential industry on the whole. The XP Land XLIST will be announced on XP.land in September — kicking off a season of content that will include a new podcast and a series of events.

The Jury of experiential curators and cool hunters consists of experienced creators, editorial programmers, experiential brands, agency talent heads and heads of creative venues, including:

“Over the past three years, the value of experiential entertainment was elevated exponentially when people realized how much we missed events and togetherness — and feeling alive and connected within a crowd of people,” said Erica Boeke, CEO of Liberty & Co. / XP Land. “We’re excited to celebrate the creative community behind those goose-bump inducing and transformational events that matter most. Why aren’t the geniuses behind Rihanna’s halftime show, the imagination engineers behind Meow Wolf, the pioneers at Punch Drunk who created participatory experiences, names that we all know and look forward to experiencing their next project? We want to celebrate all of the brilliant experiential creators out there who are orchestrating these incredible, memorable moments for all of us,” added Boeke.

“We are very much looking forward to the XP Land XLIST kick-off in Montréal,” said Delphine Poux, CMO of C2. “Creating the opportunity to convene this jury of creative leaders and immerse them in all things experiential at C2MTL as they embark on nominating the XLIST supports and highlights this important experiential community, which is so vibrant and leading edge.” said Poux.

According to Fast Company, projected spending on the Experience Economy is set to reach $8 trillion by 2030. As audiences continue to gather and engage with innovative events, content and immersive experiences, the appetite for creativity has never been more relevant. While the extraordinary visionaries filling theaters and arenas have gone virtually unknown until now, XP Land’s XLIST promises to change all of that by elevating and celebrating the minds behind the magic, who deserve to be recognized for their experiential storytelling, and their significant, transformational impact on culture and society at large.
