Join 8,000+ visionaries to get inspired, make meaningful connections and shape the future of organizations and yourself. The festival has been bringing together curious minds from all corners of the world in Austria and tracking down answers. Interdisciplinary – because silo thinking is a thing of the past. In doing so, we learn from the best in their domains and spark new relationships that last. For the future viability of organizations and your personal growth.

We will get to the bottom of the burning questions and topics of our time. Our agenda includes eight topic areas that highlight both emerging industries and changing social dynamics. Through a wide range of formats such as keynotes, fireside chats, panel discussions, workshops and roundtables, supplemented by extensive networking opportunities, we break down silos and allow a wide variety of perspectives to come together to form a new whole. Over 200 exciting minds from different professions will share their knowledge. Top international speakers meet the most exciting innovation community in Europe: Think about the world of tomorrow together with us.
