2023:
(R)evolution

Revolution and evolution are a letter apart, yet they represent two modes of change that are on diametrically opposite ends of how they are achieved.

2022:

Æffect is intentionally polysemic—the coexistence of many possible meanings for a word or phrase. From artists to activists, from executives to restaurateurs, our speakers will consider how their journeys have been Affected, as well as the Effect that they have left on the world.
