Changing our perspectives starts with radical ideas

Welcome to the Radical Thinkers conference series - where daring ideas meet visionary perspectives. We explore a future economy where both people and nature thrive, challenge conventional notions of growth, capitalism, marketing, and ethics.

At the Radical Thinkers series, we believe that changing the world starts with changing our perspectives. We are committed to shaping responsible leaders by offering a platform for multiple viewpoints on the complex social and environmental challenges of our world. Join us as we push the boundaries of business, society, and ecology, one perspective at a time.
