WORLD.MINDS Information

WORLD.MINDS is a community of leaders in science, the arts and business. We are driven by passion and curiosity. We strive for deep understanding and love new ideas. Our goal is to improve the quality of our decisions as private individuals, as role models and as citizens of this planet – and to inspire others to do so. WORLD.MINDS meets once a year in Zurich for our closed-door Annual Symposium, and organizes several more intimate “Deep Dives” throughout the year. Twice a month we are running short, informal video calls with hand-picked community members from around the world. We call them WORLD.MINDS ESPRESSO. Highly engaging Q&A between community members. No recording. Strict Chatham House Rule. ESPRESSO conversation partners include former CIA Director General David Petraeus, Bill Gates, architect Lord Norman Foster, designer and inventor Neri Oxman, legendary shareholder activist Bill Ackman, author Margaret Atwood, former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Jim Stavridis, among others. WORLD.MINDS is an invitation-only community.
