To build a more sustainable and prosperous future, we need to be innovative, holistic, inclusive, collaborative, and above all, rethink our thinking about our purpose and practices.
Join us at Ivey for a day of Rethinking our Thinking for a Sustainable Future. We will exchange ideas with Ivey alumni, faculty, business leaders, and students on September 1, 2022, to explore how we can together build a sustainable, purposeful, and desired future. We will stretch our thinking, become familiar with tools to effect system-level change, and develop practical ideas to bring back to our organizations and communities.
This in-person event is complimentary to attend. It will run from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided.
The event is timed to coincide with the international Estoril Conference in Portugal at which leaders from business, government NGOs, media, and think tanks will be gathering to take on the major global challenges facing us today.

Who should participate?
This event benefits all established and aspiring leaders from across industries, sectors, functions and lived experience. It is designed for those interested in learning new ways of problem-solving and collaborating effectively, as well as for those eager to engage with Ivey in learning them through experiential learning.

- How to nudge others in your organizations and communities toward new practices and new thinking for creating a more desirable future.
Why else should I join?
