Event Speaker bios

Kevin White, CSEP, Chief Strategist, XPL

Kevin White has been a storyteller his entire life. That love of capturing attention and engaging people is what brought him to a decades-long career in experiential design.

In 2011 he founded XPL, a boundary-pushing agency that delivers bold, powerful live events that transform audiences around the world.

Kevin’s commitment to his industry is demonstrated by his willingness to give back. He was selected by his peers to serve as international president of the International Live Events Association (ILEA). He currently teaches event students through the Event Leadership Institute and has been a professor at New York University.

While he resides in Massachusetts with his family, Kevin has never really left his native New York City. He has a penchant for travel, is incredibly loud and loves to witness great stories. He also has the distinct privilege of being uniquely related to the only word in English that rhymes with orange.
