Winning at IRL Experiences

Featuring David Lafitte, CEO, Tecovas and Kim Malek, Co-founder and CEO, Salt & Straw

This conversation explores how breakout brands are crafting immersive IRL moments that define how customers feel, remember, and engage with a business. From rethinking retail environments to designing sensory‑rich customer journeys that people can’t stop talking about, we’ll look at how companies are turning physical touchpoints into cultural touchstones.
