Join visionary frontrunners for a 2-day conference focusing on our ability to lead change – and don’t miss the gala evening at the legendary Hamlet’s Castle, where Richard Olivier will deliver a keynote toast speech, inspired by Shakespeare’s Hamlet and in the company of world class musicians.

We’re on the eve of profound transformation, propelled by both necessity and opportunity. For so long, we’ve struggled with our seemingly intractable inability to manage the precious, limited resources available to us — a veritable “tragedy of the commons.” This has endured while the existential threat of climate disruption, resource depletion and population explosion grows.

Now is our time and our chance to act differently, thanks to technology that connects us in once inconceivable ways. While these tools have already facilitated revolutionary transformation at a global scale, the more important shift is in our own hearts and minds. Suddenly, we can see new solutions to our historic challenges. We can come together as communities — not clans — to communicate and collaborate to evolve in a way that benefits both people and planet.

That is Transition World’s story, situated where Shakespeare’s haunted Hamlet appropriately asked the universal question, “To be or not to be?” It is here that we gather as individuals, civic groups, businesses, international organizations and public institutions. Together, we will share ideas, resources and networks. Through this powerful community we can reimagine the world as a true prosperity of the commons.

Transition World’s launch event is a unique chance to join a powerful international network and become actively engaged in shaping the future. During a 2 day conference you will get to meet visionary leaders, frontrunners and changemakers from different walks of life, who are united in the realization that we need to demonstrate extraordinary leadership, and start to collaborate on a whole new level, if we are to be successful in creating viable long-term, workable solutions.
