New for 2025:
Power Talks
Traditional breakouts reinvented with Power Talks—a fresh new high-impact format designed for how we live, learn and work today. These micro-learnings offer the perfect blend of storytelling, inspiration, and actionable takeaways. Short by design (15-25 minutes), the content is tightly focused, energizing, thought-provoking and immediately useful. Each time block will feature 2-3 dynamic sessions under one shared theme—including Leadership, Career, and Wellbeing. No audience Q&A. No room-hopping. Just one seamless experience, packed with diverse perspectives—and the ease of assigned seating.
The Stage
Mini masterclasses, big impact. Our new combined Learning & Wellness Stage offers high-value insights on Career and Wellbeing topics—all in one space. These quick-hit sessions take place throughout the day. The format is a combination of speaker presentations (10 minutes) and audience Q&A (5 minutes).
*Seating is first-come, first-served and space is limited so be sure to plan ahead.
