Nous Conference
Rethinking for Business and Social Change.
Rethinking is not just an idea, it is an approach that makes businesses more agile, even in the face of unforeseen events.
With the advent of the Covid 19 pandemic, every leader is faced with the survival of their company and the evolution of their industry.
These are the times when they need to think outside the box.
We’re proud to bring you The Great Pause: The Before & After - a series of discussions with visionary leaders that looks at the changes disrupting their industries and their insights on how the world is dramatically and irrevocable changing.
Our guests will share how they’re managing through this moment, and their plans for navigating an uncertain future. We’ll explore how creativity, humor, and empathy are playing a part in the way they look at business moving forward into a new era.
Nous is building a community dedicated to rethinking the world around us to create a brighter future for everyone. Our events explore how creative thinking impacts the world we share and creates opportunities for growth, inspiration, and innovation.
