This year’s Global Conference explores the dynamic relationship between individual well-being and the systems that shape our global future. Through two parallel tracks—Whole Person and Whole Systems and Mental Well-Being in Future Societies—thought leaders from around the world will share insights on:

Systems thinking in education and healthcare
Corporate mental health strategies
Whole-system approaches to trauma
Holistic community policy frameworks
Mental health and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 1 & 3)
Mindful innovation for sustainable futures
Workplace well-being amid rapid change
Ethical approaches to mental health technologies

Join us for a transformative experience blending expert-led sessions, panels, roundtables, and community dialogue.

These satellite events brought together diverse communities to explore mental well-being and holistic education through culturally rooted, region-specific lenses.
