We run conferences and events focused on design, product and leadership.

With over 6,500 attendees to date, we elevate underrepresented voices and shift industry norms through inclusive programming, emerging talent and a bold standard for representation.

We’re optimistic about the future and can’t wait for what’s next.

Our principles and promise

We place significant emphasis on creating content that is immersive and deeply engaging for our audience, that is refreshingly optimistic. It provides solutions to problems and never admires them.

Manifesto

Oh, the world is moving fast.
But the future isn’t a destination—it’s the outcome of our decisions.

The steps we take today define the path we tread tomorrow.
What truly matters?
Will we pursue growth for its own sake,
or will we create a world that puts humanity and planet at its heart?

We hold an optimistic outlook for the future
and embrace our role in shaping it.

We envision a tomorrow fuelled by creativity and innovation,
where technology and the humanities unite.
Where connection and collaboration thrive.

Through dialogue, learning, and connection,
we bring people together to imagine what’s next.

Because the future is ours to create,
and with wonder, we’re always looking forward.
