This was CXL Live in 2016, my first CRO conference. See some familiar faces in there? That was the size of the agency then btw ;) We've held this conference every year since (except 2020), and its grown and evolved. After covid we went a bit smaller, more curated. More outdoor as well. For the past few years we've found a new format recipe that is just killer. It's the format that makes this new EXL+Unite 'conference' special. Hard to even call it a conference. Part conference, part networking, part mastermind of sorts. Plus the structure with moderators allows us to crank up the percentage of in-house roles over consultants and agencies. The people there have high agency, and high intent. All together this makes it unlike any conference I've been to, with many many others saying the same thing. 'Earlybird25' for 25% off tickets is good for only 3 more days! Get on em. Join these folks in Oct: SPEAKERS (experimentation at) - Phil Burrows, MBA (Verizon) - Lukas Vermeer (Vista) - Luke Mortensen (Capital One) - Chad Sanderson (Gable) - Melissa Weiss (Eventbrite) - Stewart Ehoff (RS) - Shanelle Mullin (Shopify) Special Moderator Panel -> I'll moderate on organization transformation around experimentation scaling.

Can't wait! CXL was my daily learning when I was starting in CRO, it's amazing to be part of this now <3
The good old days
Awesome event. Great to see you’re keeping the streak alive! 🙌 I think there was also a CXL in 2015 even? 🤔😅
Punchline did sketches of the talks. Here was mine with useful concepts like SRM, A/A tests, poor OEC, Twyman's Law, and HiPPO.
Exciting to have some product people on the list this year!
CXL Live 2016 was also my first CXL live :) EXL 2024 I am helping give a workshop. Life is crazy.
Is it October yet? 😉
Oh that was some good time
Can't wait for this one! It's going to be a full circle moment meeting many of the great lecturers from the CXL courses I've learnt so much from in person. Roll on October!
Yep, visited this event all the way from Finland with Henry Nyberg
