The Great Wave

The House of Beautiful Business, a global think tank and community to humanize business in the age of machines, officially announces the full scope of The Great Wave, the first-of-its-kind hybrid business festival that explores how people can work and live more beautifully. Stretching across media and time zones, in more than 30 local hubs in cities worldwide, The Great Wave will feature a carefully curated set of online and offline experiences that draw from the arts and humanities, science, tech, and nature, and will inspire attendees to reinvent business, their organizations, and themselves. The Great Wave is scheduled from October 16-19, 2020, and tickets are available for purchase now.

The Great Wave will feature more than 100 speakers, performers, and filmmakers to initiate a movement to rebuild business, celebrating the full range of humanity and resulting in an actionable Playbook of Beautiful Business. Attendees will include thousands of business and nonprofit leaders, founders, technologists, artists and philosophers, humanists, misfits and mavericks, policy-makers and change makers, and scientists from diverse disciplines around the world. The Great Wave will facilitate connections between them through different media and technologies—including a pioneering cloud-based 3D virtual world—at a scale larger than any traditional event in the past.

Attendees will challenge lofty ideas at the "Society of Skeptics," form small groups or "Ripples" of discovery and learning virtually, try on different masks and identities, explore and experience new technologies, discuss incremental and radical measures of change, and co-create the new agenda for (beautiful) business. They will also be able to take part in dance and musical performances, sit quietly for a silent hour, take sound baths, dive—literally and metaphorically—into the ocean, and go on field trips safely. Following the event, they’ll take all the experiences and knowledge they obtained and bring it all back to their workplaces and lives.
