2023's revamped education programme was designed to inform, inspire, and empower attendees to think differently, connect differently, plan differently, and live differently. Our attendees left the stages with knowledge they didn’t know they needed, innovation to do and be better, and new connections with people sharing the same challenges.
The education programme was split across four key themes: INFORM - INSPIRE - INNOVATE - IMPACT
And if that wasn't enough, new for 2023, we had the Blank Canvas, a space where you can experiment and try new things in a safe and supportive environment. From testing new technology to trying out new experiences, this was the perfect place to push your boundaries and unleash your creativity.
