PROGRAMME & EVENTS ADVISORY
We deliver programmes that address the challenges of today to unlock a more sustainable tomorrow
Our world-class programme and events framework, Programme for People and Planet, is focused on interrogating the challenges of today to unlock a more sustainable tomorrow.

Our approach
Underpinning our approach is a reframing of how to convene people and ideas for impact. We bring together diverse expertise and experiences around global priority topics, with a focus on amplifying the perspectives of youth, women and underrepresented communities to ensure that every discourse, and its outcomes, are accessible, inclusive and actionable.
Every programme we design is guided by our signature framework:
Practical Optimism: We curate programmes that unlock the world’s limitless potential for progress.
Solutions-oriented: All our events are designed and built around exploring and spotlighting actionable solutions.
Outcomes-led: We prioritise stocktaking in a way that ensures that the impact of our programming manifests before, during and long after the event itself.
Value-chain Inclusive: We ensure multinational and intersectional representation across our events spans generation, gender and geography.
