(My boss and) I would like to know how my attendance at your events will relate to the work I do.
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.

Are there any group discounts?
Yes; groups of 4 or more receive at least a 15% discount. You can find those tickets on the registration page. If you have an even larger group, please email info@wisdom2conference.com to find out if you're eligible for an additional discount.
What are the Intensives? Can I add one later or do I need to sign up when I register?
Registering for a Monday intensive will give you access to spending the day in deep exploration of a single topic with others in the Wisdom 2.0 community.
If you purchase a ticket without the Monday intensive, you may add an intensive within 30 days for $150. After 30 days, you may add an intensive to your ticket for $200. Please note that intensives are likely to sell out, so we do encourage you to purchase intensive tickets as early as possible.
