Early Bird Tickets Available For a Limited Time!
2026 is not a year for observation. It is a year that demands response.
We are living through overlapping challenges and contradictions, institutions under strain, trust eroding, technology accelerating beyond regulation, climate realities intensifying, and workplaces struggling to keep up with shifting expectations of dignity, power, and purpose.
The question is no longer what is happening. The question is now what?
This year’s summit is a space to move beyond diagnosis and into direction. To sit with what must be repaired, what needs to be reimagined, and what we must have the courage to recreate entirely.
Across four interconnected themes: Workplace, Health, Technology, and Climate, we will examine how systems are holding, where they are failing, and what it will take to build differently. Not in theory, but in practice.
This is not about easy answers. It is about sharper questions, clearer thinking, and more intentional action.
Thematic Focus Areas
Workplace
Work is being reshaped by AI, changing demographics and rising expectations around leadership, dignity and belonging.
What we’ll examine: The future of work in an era of AI and rapid technological advancement. Human and technical skills that’ll stand the test of time. Knowledge sharing from leading companies and thought-leaders reshaping leadership while keeping people at the centre. Inclusive and dignified workplaces at the intersection of interpersonal identities, demographics, technology and global systemic change.
TECHNOLOGY
The decisions being made about AI today will determine whether its gains are broadly shared or further concentrated.
What we’ll examine: Harnessing AI and emerging technology to expand human capability rather than deepen inequality. Responsible deployment in hiring, healthcare, public services, and more. Bridging technology gaps and innovation trajectories for the underserved. Equitable access to and knowledge of technology. Designing leaders, workforce, and learning environments that enable sustainability change.
Climate
The climate transition is not only an environmental imperative; it is a question of economic strategy, global leadership and equity.
What we’ll examine: Moving from sustainability as compliance to sustainability as systems change. Inclusive energy transition in practice. European and Global South leadership in energy transition.
PUBLIC HEALTH
Public health shapes whether people can participate, work, lead and thrive, yet major health inequities remain overlooked in policy, workplaces and investment decisions.
What we’ll examine: Building societies and workplaces that support health across the full arc of life, from mental wellbeing to menopause to chronic conditions. Health equity for women, girls and the systemically underserved. Mental health and wellbeing, for men, women, and gender diverse.
Thematic Focus Areas
Geopolitics and Globalization
In a world of shifting alliances and emerging powers, this theme explores how geopolitical dynamics are reshaping global trade, diplomacy, and security. From the rise of regional blocs to the future of multilateralism, we examine what leadership looks like in a fragmented but interconnected world.

This theme delves into how cutting-edge technologies are transforming industries, governance, and human potential, raising critical questions about ethics, equity, and global competitiveness.
The Future of Work
Automation, digital platforms, and demographic shifts are rapidly evolving the way we work. This theme looks at how societies can create resilient labor markets, reimagine education and upskilling, and ensure that the changing world of work remains inclusive, meaningful, and adaptive.

Global capital is flowing across borders faster than ever, fueling transformation in sectors from life sciences to energy. This theme explores strategies for sustainable investment, the role of finance in driving innovation, and the power of cross-sector and cross-border collaboration to unlock long-term value.
