General

What is WOW24?

Great question! WOW (short for World of Work) is the ultimate workplace experience conference hosted by Appspace. The goal is to bring together customers, partners, and industry experts to showcase the future of the workplace experience and share strategies and best practices for improving engagement, workplace management, and cultural alignment.

When and where is WOW24?

Scottsdale, Arizona at the JW Marriott Camelback Inn Resort & Spa. The conference runs September 23 (kickoff at noon MST) through September 25 (ends at noon MST).

Is there a virtual option?

WOW24 is in-person only this year. Don’t miss out – register now!

Dress code?

Business casual throughout the conference. Think dress pants, jeans, skirts, blouses, and sportcoats. Conference rooms can get chilly, so bring a blazer, sweater, or light jacket. Temperatures drop after sunset, so pack layers for comfort. Some events are outdoors on grass and gravel (so you may want to bring comfy shoes)!

How much does WOW24 cost?

WOW24 is just $99. All proceeds go to Think Big for Kids, a charity dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty for young people. Founded in 2016 by Appspace CEO Tony DiBenedetto, Think Big for Kids equips students with the career guidance, mentorship, and skills they need to thrive anywhere.
