What to Expect at WiCX UnConference 2025

A behind-the-scenes guide to the world’s only UnConference built for women in CX

If you’ve never been to an UnConference before, you might be wondering:

What actually happens? What makes it different? And why is everyone calling this the most powerful event in CX right now?

Here’s your inside look at what to expect from WiCX UnConference 2025—before, during, and after the event.


BEFORE THE EVENT: YOU HELP SHAPE THE AGENDA

Unlike traditional conferences, the WiCX UnConference doesn’t start with a set speaker lineup or rigid schedule.

It starts with you.

After registering, you’ll be invited to contribute to our interactive digital whiteboard. It’s a virtual space where attendees can:

  • Share the topics and questions they want to explore

  • Propose breakout sessions

  • Vote on ideas that matter most to them

This collaborative pre-event process ensures the event reflects the real challenges and conversations you care about. When you walk in, you’ll already feel welcome, connected, seen, and ready to dive in.

THEME 2025: MOVING BEYOND

This year’s theme is a rallying cry:

Moving Beyond — the status quo, outdated CX models, and surface-level thinking.

As AI and automation reshape the industry, too many CX events are stuck on repeat. We’re here to change that.

Women in CX are calling time on traditional thinking, and coming together to:

  • Move beyond treating journeys as problems to fix, and start designing with empathy

  • Move beyond reactive service models and start addressing root causes

  • Move beyond the myth that human value and commercial value are in conflict

  • Move beyond siloed CX, and position it as a true driver of business strategy

  • Move beyond burnout, bias, and broken systems that hold us back

Why women? Because we lead differently—with empathy, innovation, and a drive for impact.

WiCX UnConference is a space where we don’t just talk about change—we shape it. Together.

A SCHEDULE DESIGNED FOR REAL LIFE

We listened closely to feedback from past attendees—especially around how tough it can be to step away from home, work, and family.

So we’ve built a schedule that makes the full experience possible with just one night away, if needed.

  • Day 1 starts at 11:30am, giving you time to travel in that morning

  • Day 2 ends by 3:30pm, so you can head home that same afternoon

You get the full 24+ hour experience, without sacrificing work-life balance. Because creating inclusive experiences starts with designing for women’s real lives.

OPEN SPACE, EXPLAINED

At the core of WiCX UnConference is Open Space Technology—a participant-led format designed to unlock the collective wisdom in the room.

Instead of being told what to learn, you choose what matters to you and help shape the discussion. There are no pre-set speakers. No hierarchy. No rigid rules.

The Four Principles of Open Space:

  1. Whoever comes is the right people

  2. Whatever happens is the only thing that could have

  3. Whenever it starts is the right time

  4. When it’s over, it’s over

And the one rule: 🦶 The Law of Two Feet

If you're not learning or contributing where you are, you're free to move to a different session.

No guilt. No awkwardness. Just agency.

AFTER THE EVENT: YOU’RE PART OF THE PLAYBOOK

Every idea, insight, and breakthrough from the Open Space sessions will be captured and curated into the WiCX UnConference 2025 Playbook.

You’ll leave with:

  • Actionable insights

  • Shared solutions

  • Collective intelligence from 50 brilliant women in CX
