You can also contact Monika Jiang, our Head of Curation and Community, who is happy to tell you more about what’s happening inside the House.

It's "the most unlike-minded community on the planet," as one of our Residents said.

Our members represent more than 40 countries and a wide range of backgrounds and cultures. They are diverse in terms of gender, age group, and seniority, and include CEOs, managers, founders, and freelancers, as well as scientists, artists, philosophers, and students. They have in common a desire to reinvent themselves, business, and society, and are driven by a holistic worldview—one that pays attention to business, socio-political affairs, technology, the environment, philosophy and spirituality, and the arts. They are looking for healthy debate and do not shy away from dissent.

Many members of our community find themselves at inflection points, and are looking for new inspiration and orientation for their organizations or themselves. Some use the House to meet new interesting people and hear fresh ideas. Others consider the House a place to access original thinking, next-generation technologies, and novel practices to spur the innovation efforts in their organization. What all Residents have in common is an inquisitive mind, a big heart, and desire for real, honest connections. Simply put, people come to the House searching for four things: inspiration, intelligence, intimacy, and impact.

The House is devoted to reinventing the language, theories, and actual practices of business to make it more beautiful.

At the heart of our programs is the belief that nothing is more impactful than a meaningful experience shared with others. Our members find the time spent at the House to be soul-nourishing, inspiring, and transformative, and many of them make profound changes to the way they work, live, and lead after engaging with the House community and content.

Our gatherings have initiated countless new professional relationships and friendships, and have led to new hires, collaborations, partnerships, investments, and ventures.

Moreover, our House Work initiative connects House Residents through concrete projects that make a difference in their respective organizations and society at large.

We are confident that the collective and personal activities of the House community increase awareness and bring the idea of beautiful business to more workplaces and organizations around the world.

Concrete Love is the theme of this year’s main event of the House of Beautiful Business, the global think tank and community for leaders who are looking to reinvent their organizations and themselves while creating positive visions for the future.

Every year, we host a signature gathering to bring together the most passionate members of our community. Our first annual event took place in an old guild house in Barcelona’s gothic quarter in February 2017, and later that year we moved to Lisbon for a second gathering. In 2018 and 2019, we returned to Lisbon for Next Startup Humanity and The Battle for Beautiful Business respectively. In light of the COVID crisis, we produced last year’s event, The Great Wave, as a hybrid festival. We could not be more excited to return in person to Lisbon for Concrete Love this fall.

As we slowly emerge from the pandemic, we believe Concrete Love is what the world needs: untethered imagination and radical ideas, paired with genuine care and concrete action. Concrete Love will comprise Acts and Actions. You can take part online, at our Lisbon gathering, and at local events around the world. On the eve of COP26, with 300+ attendees in person (following strict COVID-safety guidelines) in Lisbon and multichannel online programming, the first part, Acts, will explore the disruptions and inspirations that matter now and going forward. We will celebrate gathering in person as if it were the first time, while integrating online and Lisbon audiences in new and truly hybrid ways. Over the following four weeks—and a community assembly every Friday—we’ll then gather to put ideas into practice.

Concrete Love will bring together thousands of participants from business, technology, science, politics, and art to shape the new foundations, structures, and workplaces of the (post-)pandemic age. Immersive, whimsical, playful, and yet practical, Concrete Love will be all about the making of beautiful business: extremely personal, extremely business, extremely concrete.
