Presenters at our Events and Co-creators of our Vision

During the past 2.5 years, we hosted and co-hosted a wide variety of events, each with their own unique purpose yet interconnected by our shared purpose to scale the transformation to a new economic mainstream that integrates economic success with the regeneration of people and the planet.

We are grateful to the over 300 leaders who spoke at our international events. About half of them contributed to multiple events. Their active engagement led not only to lively exchanges of information and inspiration. It helped us to shape our vision and caused concrete outcomes. Many continue to work with us on our ongoing Solutions Initiatives, which are at the heart of our events and our overall work because for us words have to become deeds to be meaningful.

Here you find the names of our presenters and co-creators. First, a summary of some of the institutions they represent. Then, all presenters are listed in alphabetical order.
