Laura Hess attended more than 500 experiences in 5 years. The result is her REMARKABLE framework, a new methodology for evaluating ROX (Return on Experience). Her rubric captures a comprehensive array of audience engagement and emotional affinity; it fills in gaps from traditional evaluation metrics. In her session, Laura outlines the evolution, application, and value of the rubric. Using production case studies from her 2025 report, she offers key insights for crafting intentional, resonant experiences.
