In an Age of Pixels, We've Forgotten the Panorama

We live our lives in pixels, fleeting updates, trending topics, and algorithm-driven feeds. But what happens when we stop focusing on the single pixel and look at the entire canvas?

“Zoom Out” offers a special space to step back, reflect, and reconnect with the bigger patterns shaping our lives, our cities, and our world.

Our eight inspirational talks will encourage you to see the bigger picture, challenge assumptions, and rediscover the power of human connection.

Speakers:

• Maarten van der Weijden, an Olympic champion in open water swimming (2008) despite his leukemia diagnosis in 2001.
• Mads Nissen, a documentary photographer, author and a three-time recipient of the main prize at World Press Photo, ‘Photographer of the Year’ (2023).
• Kelly Indira Buis, a trained conflict analyst, the founder of The Adaptation Company.
• Theresa Ward, founder of Fiery Feather, is a facilitator and educator who teaches meta-skills including self-awareness, persuasive communication, and navigating change.

More speakers are to be announced soon!
