Thornehope’s Creative Experience Producer, David Pandt, attended ACCESS 2025 on December 3 and 4. ACCESS is the Experiential Designers and Producers Association’s annual industry gathering that unites leaders to spark connections, share insights and strengthen the experiential marketing community.
A member of EDPA, we joined ACCESS to deepen our relationships with U.S. experiential partners, understand emerging market perspectives and affirm Thornehope’s role as a thoughtful, trusted collaborator. We came away with several insights and takeaways that reflected clear industry trends, including a shift toward hybrid events with more hands-on engagement and less spectacle.
“Generally, conference events draw a singular type of attendee,” says David. “I was impressed by the broad diversity of people at ACCESS. It made me reflect on the end-to-end scope of the people involved in producing events, from concept creators to those doing the heavy lifting on the show floor. There’s nothing like it.”
