If you want to find your people, this is the place to do it.
The intimate setting of Immersive PX fostered a real feeling of community and connection amongst People leaders on the frontier of applying product management principles to our work. If you want to find your people, this is the place to do it. Plus, you'll walk away with actionable frameworks and notes you can apply the first day you're back in office.

What a powerful and recharging experience!
What a powerful and recharging experience in Amsterdam with the Immersive PX community! 💡💜 These three days gave me so much more than inspiration! I walked away with concrete ideas, new frameworks, and a sharper sense of purpose in how we design People experiences. The speaker lineup was world-class, the conversations were bold and honest, and the energy in the room was contagious. I learned so much from others who are reimagining our field with courage and clarity. Already counting down to the next one! Thank you to everyone who made this so special!

Most People teams are stuck in traditional thinking. The moment I got introduced to product thinking in People, there was no way back. It makes so much sense. By now, my team is on board and my COO and CFO are also supportive, because - when explained - it makes so much sense to them too. I joined the Immersive PX event to learn the 'how', and learn from others who have already implemented this in their organizations. I was pleasantly surprised - and in awe- of the group Luke had brought together: truly the global frontrunners of this way of working. A large part of the group had flown in from other countries to attend and share their expertise. What I really enjoyed is that many did not have an HR background, they 'found' the People function along the way and have brought their expertise from different disciplines to make the People function better. The event was very inspiring and very practical. I walked away with actions to take the next day. Now, one week later, I am implementing them with my team.

I thought the PX Espresso Live event was amazing! You can tell how much thought went into the whole day. From the branding, to the swag bags, to the food, to the agenda to the speakers - the whole thing was way more than I thought it'd be, which is a great thing! If this is what the first year looks like, then you've set a high bar for your future events! I'd definitely recommend PX Espresso Live to other People Leaders because the conversation and ideas from the speakers was very forward-thinking and actually different to the traditional HR approaches that many of us are taught. This event helped to break the mould and shed light and some progressive people practices.

What made you want to attend an Immersive PX event? I wanted to learn how to manage People & Culture projects in a more modern, impactful way, not just follow the traditional HR playbook. I was looking for fresh perspectives on how to structure and deliver work that actually sticks. What specific challenges were you hoping to solve by attending? I wanted to figure out how to break down large, sometimes overwhelming projects into smaller, more manageable steps. I also wanted to get better at challenging assumptions and exploring the real problem before jumping to solutions. And I definitely walked away with new insights on how to work more agile. What is your ONE biggest takeaway from Immersive PX? Don’t build things no one needs. Always start by checking whether your idea actually solves a real problem, before you spend time developing it. How was Immersive PX different from other HR events you've attended? It really was something else. So engaging. The speakers were inspiring and full of energy, and I found myself genuinely excited throughout. Usually after 2.5 days of learning, you'd feel drained, but I left feeling the opposite: energized, inspired, and ready to try new things. What would you say to another People leader thinking about attending a future Immersive PX event? If you want to stop wasting time on solutions no one’s waiting for, and start creating experiences and initiatives that truly land this is the event for you. You’ll walk away with tools and inspiration to build things that matter.

I was really looking forward to two days of immersive learning as I had just completed the digital course. It really helped cement some of the learnings from the course - esp as I was completely new to PX as a product, and I learn a lot better in face to face settings. This was by far the best conference I've attended in my 10+ years in HR. I loved the small group size in the first two days, as it allowed us to really get to know each other. We also got to spend 121 time with the speakers which was incredible. I would 1000% recommend PX Espresso live to other people leaders as the content is refreshing and new (not just the same old HR employment law updates!)

PX Espresso was such an incredibly inspiring day! From getting to listen to advice and thoughts from leading-experts within the PX industry, to meeting like-minded individuals with similar beliefs in what we do - I hadn't yet come across a space like it! It truly felt like the next generation of 'HR' was in that room and I left itching to go and help be a part of making these much needed changes happen. I would 100% recommend future live events by PX Espresso to other People Leaders so they too can be inspired and make a difference within our industry in an era where traditional HR practices are extremely outdated!

I really love the content of your podcast and am enjoying learning all about the concept of People as a product so was excited when you announced the event. I enjoyed the panels the most - I think the best sessions were JooBee & Lauren's (would have loved more JooBee!) and Alicia/Natalie's. This is because it felt more structured in terms of focus + getting the diversity of thought from the different panelists was very interesting. The sessions brought great practical ideas for application of the concept which was incredibly useful. The line up of speakers was awesome and awe-inspiring; well done getting them all in one room! I also really liked that it was on the more intimate side of events; often conferences are ENORMOUS and so many people are there to sell their product/services and this wasn't like that. This was truly to share the passion for the people experience. There were a couple of ways it could have been even better: 1. More comfortable seating - I especially felt for the pregnant ladies being on those benches all day. 2. Less reference to the previous 2 days - I'm delighted that the smaller cohort sessions went well but as it was exclusive, it would have been more sensitive to not reference it in every session. 3. Bring a clicker for your slides so you don't have to keep getting up :) Overall - a really insightful day and I will definitely be planning to attend the next.

I wanted to attend (and quite literally had to!) because of two reasons. 1. Immersive learning/hands-on experience in a room full of incredible like-minded individuals in the People Community. I felt like the timing was so right for my new job and the direction I wanted to head in my career 2. Direct and intimate access to thought leaders and trail blazers in the community to learn from and talk to (and some that I have followed for some time that I wanted to meet!) My biggest takeaway is that PX as a product is changing the way we can do HR/People - for the good, and for the future. I'm happy to be apart of a community that is focused on delivering valuably instead of in a traditional setting and format. It gives me hope that people will think about this profession differently. PX Espresso was different to any other HR Conference because it was no bullshit. It brought together a combination of humbleness, personality, risk-taking, boldness, fun, and incredibly intelligent leaders into one room with eager learners. It gave us the ability to interact with one another and be real. I would 100% recommend PX Espresso Live to other people leaders because the experience was so unique and valuable on many levels; networking, social learning, immersive learning, introduction to px as a product which can be daunting for others when they are first starting out.

PX Espresso was different to any other HR Conference because it was no bullshit. It brought together a combination of humbleness, personality, risk-taking, boldness, fun, and incredibly intelligent leaders into one room with eager learners. It gave us the ability to interact with one another and be real. I would 100% recommend PX Espresso Live to other people leaders because the experience was so unique and valuable on many levels; networking, social learning, immersive learning, introduction to px as a product which can be daunting for others when they are first starting out.
