Charting the Future at Connexxion ’25: Nexxen’s Exploration of ‘What’s Next’
Charting the Future at Connexxion ’25: Nexxen’s Exploration of ‘What’s Next’
Nexxen’s second annual sales conference, Connexxion ’25, was held last month in the vibrant city of New Orleans, serving as a convergence point for discussions about the future. Over the course of a few jam-packed days, more than 200 global attendees were immersed in a series of insightful sessions and panels exploring pathways for growth and innovation – not just for Nexxen as an organization, but for our clients, our partners and our industry as a whole.
The concept of ‘What’s Next’ was the driving force behind each conversation — encouraging everyone to envision the possibilities within our fast-evolving landscape. After a rousing introduction from our Chief Commercial Officer, Chance Johnson (as well as a special appearance by New Orleans’ very own L.B. Landry marching band!), Will Lee – CEO of Adweek – took to the stage with an inspiring keynote, detailing why ‘Flux is the New Flex.’ Shedding light on emerging trends – including the proliferation of AI – Will’s insights underscored why keeping pace with change is crucial, particularly in an industry like media (a common theme throughout Connexxion ‘25).
From there, we heard from executives across our organization – as well as a few clients – about their shared visions for the year ahead and hopes for the future. From elevating client servicing and enhancing customer relationships (more on that below!) to refining our brand and value proposition, from advancements to our product suite to changes to our stock structure – all signs point to 2025 being a year of continued growth for Nexxen.
Tyrone Edwards – an authority on customer-centric selling – also made a special guest appearance, captivating attendees with his insights into building resilient, customer-focused strategies. Spread out over two days, Tyrone led us through sessions and exercises emphasizing the importance of actively listening to clients and offering unique solutions to their challenges, reinforcing our commitment to create meaningful partnerships that drive mutual growth.
Of course, while our sights were, and are, set on the future, we also took the time to look back and celebrate major accomplishments from the past year (while also having some good, old-fashioned NOLA fun!). 2024 was a banner year for Nexxen – particularly in terms of our financial results – and the Nexxellence Awards Ceremony paid salute to the teams and individuals who made those results possible. Our final dinner at the iconic Brennan’s also gave us an opportunity to recognize each other’s wins, with a toast from our CEO Ofer Druker capping off the night.
The exchanges and conversations that took place over these few days in New Orleans are already shaping ‘what’s next’ for us, with teams truly hitting the ground running. For this reason (among many others), Connexxion ’25 was more than just a conference — it was a launchpad for new ideas and relationships, a reminder that meaningful growth demands both compassion and collaboration. And we can’t wait to see – and influence – what’s next. Huge thanks to our partner Volant Events, the Four Seasons New Orleans and everyone who worked in tandem to make Connexxion ’25 such a memorable success.
