The House of Beautiful Business is the global network for the life-centered economy. Our mission is to create a new kind of business that is more purposeful, inclusive, and sustainable. Thought leadership-driven, community-powered, and experience-based, we bring together business leaders, economists, policy-makers, technologists, scientists, artists, and activists through consulting, in-person gatherings, online programs, publications, performances, and art. We inspire and equip them to shape an economy that honors all life inside and around us.

Founded in 2017, the House has grown from a pop-up event to a platform comprising learning and development experiences, an annual festival, local events, and a community of more than 50,000 professionals worldwide.

We are a distributed team and work from Berlin, Lisbon, Munich, Atlanta, Toronto, and everywhere in between.

Our 2024 festival, Between the Two of Us, delves deep into the duality and interconnectedness present in today’s polycrisis world. We aim to bridge divides, foster dialogue and understanding, and imagine and build a business that’s inclusive, regenerative, and truly centered around life.

First, on May 2–5, join us for The Gathering at the cultural crossroads that is Tangier, Morocco, where 400 visionaries and leaders will set the agenda and distill three days of insight into a blueprint for the life-centered economy. Immerse, inspire, ideate.

Then, on September 6–8, we will gather again for The Camp, at a farm estate in Arrábida near Lisbon, Portugal, where 1,000 attendees will put that blueprint into action. Collaborate, experiment, build.

The Gathering in Tangier will convene 400 attendees and 50 speakers to discuss the most pressing issues of our polycrisis time and set the agenda for driving systemic, organizational, and personal change toward a form of business that is more beautiful. It’s where The Vows will be crafted, a set of principles to foster the life-centered economy.

The Camp in Arrábida will be a larger community-powered event bringing together 1,000 participants, focused on collaborating, experimenting, and building, bringing The Vows to life.

For the full experience, we would love for you to participate in both events. Take advantage of our Early Bird offer for a Combo Pass and save over 50% on your Arrábida ticket until October 16.

Yes, you can opt for tickets to either just The Gathering or just The Camp. However, to encourage and enable a more comprehensive experience, we are offering a discounted Combo Pass that allows attendance to both. Take advantage of our special early-bird pricing.

Our events have attracted attendees from more than 40 countries, who are diverse in terms of gender, age, culture, and professional background. Our audience ranges from CEOs, artists, academics, and technologists to freelancers, entrepreneurs, and activists. Many members of our community find themselves at inflection points in their careers or lives, and are looking for new inspiration and orientation. Some use the House of Beautiful Business to meet interesting people, expose themselves to fresh ideas, and broaden their community. Others consider it a place to access original thinking, next-generation technologies, and novel practices to spur innovation efforts within their organization. What all participants in our events have in common is the quest to shape and build a life-centered economy. Everyone comes with an inquisitive mind, a big heart, and a desire for real, honest connections.

The three-day Gathering agenda includes immersive tours and private dinners with local hosts, followed by all-day programs featuring talks, performances, screenings, conversations, debates, masterclasses, and workshops. For the full experience, we recommend you arrive in Tangier on Thursday before noon and stay until Sunday evening.

Our detailed schedule will be released closer to the event dates. Keep an eye on our website or sign up for our newsletter to stay updated.

You can find a high-level, preliminary outline of the schedule for Tangier here and for Arrábida here. We just announced our initial lineup of speakers and performers. They are CEOs and technologists, pioneers and dissenters, who represent different genders, cultures, and stages of life. They are leaders whose names you know well and emerging thinkers we can’t wait to put on your radar. If they have anything in common it’s that they are mavericks and renegades, with bold ideas on how the life-centered economy can shape a more equitable, sustainable, and peaceful world.

At The Gathering in Tangier, our lineup will include some of today’s most important Moroccan and African leaders and artists, ranging from young entrepreneurs who are rewiring the tech sector to iconoclastic thinkers in sustainability to rising stars in contemporary film and photography.

At The Camp in Arrábida, the program will mostly feature speakers and contributors selected by our community.
We will launch the Program Builder soon by which you can submit and vote on contributors for The Camp. Keep an eye on our website or sign up for our newsletter to stay updated.

We believe that the future of business won’t just be shaped by business, but by trailblazers and changemakers from diverse disciplines. That’s why we’ve curated an eclectic program that features, in addition to executives and entrepreneurs, leading figures in data science, economics, psychology, art, philosophy, sustainability, spirituality, and more. At our gatherings, venture capitalists meet philosophers, molecular biologists meet novelists, software developers meet activists, economists meet shamans, and CEOs meet choreographers.

We believe in the power of in-person connections and experiences and have therefore tailored our festival primarily for on-site participation. While we won't be live-streaming sessions or sharing extensive content online, there may be select post-event recaps or summaries available on our website for the broader community. We encourage everyone interested in the full experience to join us in person if possible.

Morocco has been on our mind ever since we co-hosted a Chamber of Beautiful Business, a smaller gathering, in Marrakesh in 2018. There we met Moroccan social impact entrepreneur and writer Hanae Bezad who became the Africa ambassador of the House and will now serve as co-host and co-curator of our Tangier gathering. She is helping us engage with local business leaders, public intellectuals, and artists, and honor the unique cultural context of Morocco. We are excited to grow our community and for the first time host one of our main gatherings in Africa, a continent absolutely crucial for the vision and realization of the life-centered economy. Tangier is literally and symbolically the city “between the two,” and we are keen to engender a dialogue at a point of juncture between Global South and Global North.

We were shocked and saddened by the recent earthquake in Morocco. We have been in close touch with our Moroccan partners and friends since the devastating earthquake and believe that connecting international participants with the local business and creative community is even more precious and significant at this fragile moment. We will donate 10 percent of all ticket sales for our Tangier gathering to earthquake relief efforts.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality. You can check the criteria and apply for an E-Visa or AEVM (Electronic Travel Authorizations to Morocco) here. The process is conveniently online and takes around 24–72 hours.

Accommodation is not included in your ticket, but we are happy to assist with recommendations.

We take the environmental impact of our events seriously, which is why we brought a sustainability partner, Circular Unity, on board. Not only do they help us measure the output but also introduce additional measures to make Between the Two of Us as eco-friendly as possible, including shared transportation for staff and attendees, meat-free catering, reusable, recyclable or biodegradable packaging and signage, and more.

We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to participate fully and equally in our event. To achieve this goal, we have created various measures to make the experience as accessible as possible. These include conducting a detailed accessibility assessment of the venues to identify any barriers or challenges that participants with disabilities might face (parking, entrances, pathways, restrooms, seating areas, stages, lighting and signage, as well as emergency evacuation plans, ramps, and many other areas). In addition, our event registration process includes an option for participants to request specific assistance to ensure a seamless experience, service animals are welcome at our event, and accessible seating areas will be available, as will specially-trained staff who can respond promptly to any accessibility-related inquiries or concerns. We welcome feedback from attendees on how we can improve the accessibility of our event.

We welcome passionate individuals who wish to make a contribution. If you’re interested in volunteering or getting involved in any other capacity, please reach out to us at community@houseofbeautifulbusiness.com.
