The rate of change in our world is accelerating and every day there’s a new innovation or promising idea that springs up to provide hope for the "wicked" problems of our time.

It happens through practice, through reflection, and through meaningful and sometimes unexpected exchanges with peers, practitioners, and colleagues from far flung places.

The salon is designed to empower innovators by striking up interactive discussions and debate amongst a global community of stakeholders.
