Featured Talk Information

Details: Originally presented on Monday, August 24 at 10:00 (New York)

Speakers: Lisa and David Spira

Company: Room Escape Artist

Abstract: The main theme of RECON ‘20 is one word: Adapt. Adaptation is what the state of the escape room industry demands today. Lisa and David Spira discuss how the industry had been trending at the start of the year, themes that have emerged during 2020, and their predictions for the future. They share data-driven findings, as well as their thoughts and intuitions from writing, playing, traveling, and conversing with this community. Here is a deeper look at how this industry is uniquely positioned in a global crisis, and how that drives creators to adapt.

Watch Party & Conversation

One of the most amazing parts of RECON was experiencing the Featured Talks with others. For this talk in particular, this perk of a digital RECON was surreal for us, since we could chat with you as our own talk streamed. And we’re excited to do it again tomorrow night!

Plus, if you thought our live Q&A was too short, you’re in luck. We’ll continue that conversation live tomorrow night in the RECON Discord.

Details

Date: Wednesday, September 23

Time: You can join the watch party starting at exactly 8:15pm (NYC time), or just join in on the post-video conversation at 9:00pm (NYC time).

Location: The RECON Discord

6 Year US Escape Room Industry Report

On August 24, after delivering this session at RECON, we published the 6 Year US Escape Room Industry Report.

The data we’ve collected to create the Room Escape Artist Directory is the backbone of this data-backed look at this industry, and how it’s changed over the past 6 years.
