James Wallman
CEO of WXO | Author of 'Stuffocation' and 'Time And How To Spend It'
About
James Wallman wrote 'Stuffocation', which introduced the concept of 'experientialism' - the idea that experiences matter more than possessions - and was reported by over 150 media outlets worldwide. His second book, 'Time And How To Spend It', provides a framework for designing a life rich in meaningful experiences. Both were published by Penguin.
James founded WXO (World Experience Organisation), a global network of over 1,000 members across 50 countries who work in the experience economy - from immersive theatre to hospitality to brand activations. He is a futurist and trend forecaster who has spoken at TEDxManchester, TEDxLSE, Google HQ, 10 Downing Street, SXSW, Cannes Lions (ILTM), and ABTA.
His talks cover the experience economy, why we're drowning in stuff, how to design time for happiness, and what the shift from materialism to experientialism means for business.
