Time in the Alps together, with bonding as the point rather than the by-product.

Afternoon
Working GroupsWorking Groups

Built directly on whatever resonated most from the previous day’s panels — early steps toward an applied plan, carried forward through follow-up meetings later in the year.

Day 4
