Experimentation island 2026

This was #Ei2026!

A retreat where curious minds collaborated, competed, and created change!

February 24/25/26 - St. Simons Island, GA | all-inclusive learning + connections

This was not just another conference. It was an intentional retreat for senior practitioners in product, marketing, UX, and experimentation who are ready to reset their mindset, deepen cross-disciplinary collaboration, and returned with actionable clarity.

Here’s why:

  • Strategic content + transformative setting

  • Cross-disciplinary learning + intentional connections

  • Thoughtful hospitality + all-inclusive stay

  • Insightful leaders + high-caliber peers

  • Compete for coaching + take the Ei stage

The TLC organized this event, and this second-year edition again took place on the beautiful shores of St. Simons Island, GA.

World-class content: 1/3 single-track keynotes, 1/3 attendee-run breakout sessions, and 1/3 networking designed to move you beyond test execution into experimentation leadership, culture-building, decision science, and strategic use of AI in growth.

Community & scale: A highly curated community limited to 100 senior practitioners, intentionally balanced across disciplines, creating space for meaningful connections and shared growth.

A unique setting: Memorable evenings and informal gatherings in a serene setting. All meals, accommodations, and activities were included, so attendees could focus on learning, connections, and growth.

Why plan to come next year?
Learn from notable thinkers, co-create with peers across roles, and return with the inspiration and interpersonal insights to grow your role, team, and experimentation impact. Designed for seasoned practitioners and emerging leaders alike.

Testimonials

"Experimentation island was easily the best conference I've ever been to. I came hoping for knowledge and connection with experienced experimentation professionals, and left with that and more-connections, community, support, and many more ideas to take back to my team than from any other conference I've been to."

"#Ei2026 is by far the most unique professional conference I've ever attended. It's easy to get lost in the mix at conferences with thousands of attendees. The intimate vibe made it easy to get to know one another."
