Seventh editionProgrammeSession order still being set

The shapeof the room

The dates and the three-day shape are set. Individual session titles are not.

What follows is what we can stand behind today: the days, the formats, and the confirmed voices.

Day 01 — Tue 17 November

Arrive, connect, open the question.

Programming begins late afternoon: badge pickup, an opening panel that puts the mandate on the table, and the social where the room actually meets.

Day 02 — Wed 18 November

Ideas in the room, then the frank part.

A full day of mainstage talks, then smaller peer conversations under the Chatham House Rule. Session assignments publish with the programme.

Day 03 — Thu 19 November

Work the questions, close with a direction.

Hands-on sessions, lunch with the room, and a shared close. Capacity for the smaller rooms is sent to pass holders when the programme is final.

How the days work

Five formats. One pass.

Workshops sit inside the three-day pass — not a separate add-on day. 2025 workshop hosts are on the sixth-edition recap.

FormatTalks

Main-stage stories without the conference theatre.

FormatPanels

Debate the parts that do not have clean answers.

FormatWorkshops

Apply the thinking to your own organisation. Included in the pass.

FormatRoundtables

8–12 peers, off the record, under the Chatham House Rule.

FormatSocials

The conversations after the microphones are off.

Confirmed so far

This year’s voices, not the full lineup.

5 leaders are confirmed for the seventh edition. Session titles will be announced when the programme is ready.
