Highlights from 2026
It’s a place where ideas meet reality,
where perspectives are challenged,
This was our first edition. And it feels like the start of a growing community.
“I did three workshops over two days. My colleague did none and saw twice the talks. We both got what we came for.”
“Two stages meant I never sat through a talk I didn’t want. I just walked to the other one”
