The People's Stage is a series of interactive breakout sessions submitted by registered conference attendees and selected by popular community vote. The People's Stage has space for about 100 participants, as it is designed for more intimate, interactive sessions.

Every year, many Wisdom 2.0 participants ask how they can share their great work, insights, and presentations with our community. We are happy to announce the return of The People's Stage to our 2018 annual conference.

We continue to explore new places to bring Wisdom 2.0. Please email info@wisdom2conference.com if you're interested in having us bring an event to your city; we'll continue to work towards expansion in the coming years!

Wisdom 2.0 brings together leaders and individuals, working at and with large and small organizations and individuals, who are impacting how we can live and work optimally and mindfully in this digital age.

The Technology and Business founders and leaders we invite to speak provide their own wisdom of how to optimize innovation, creativity and mindfulness in the contemporary workplace.

We regularly have individuals from Learning & Development, Human Resources, Organizational Coaching and Consulting and other fields participating at the conference. After each event, participants leave with new tools and strategies for optimizing their performance at work, no matter what field of work they're in.

Everyone is encouraged to bring what we learn at the conference into our own workplaces, homes, and lives. The conversations that happen at Wisdom 2.0 represent the future of business cultures worldwide -- not to mention you'll make great connections with other professionals in your field -- and you and your boss will both be glad you took the time to attend.

You can find the press pass application here. We only offer a few press passes per event, and they're quite competitive. Please note that press passes only cover the cost of the conference, not lodging or travel.

There are lots of ways for you or your company to sponsor, partner with, or otherwise support the efforts of Wisdom 2.0. Sponsorship benefits include promotion in all conference materials, a special dinner, and much more.

Please email sponsors@wisdom2conference.com if you're interested in pursuing a partnership with Wisdom 2.0.

Please use this form to nominate speakers, including yourself. 

We receive hundreds more applications than we have room for speakers at the conference. A very, very small percentage gets chosen. As such we cannot get back to people individually. Our programming committee will be in touch if your nomination seems like a good fit.
