We're also glad to share that our WISE BY DAY program is now complete. As a valued part of our community, we'd like to offer you a 20% off code - GOWISE23. And, if you have a compelling reason to request a 50% discounted ticket, please email us at [email protected].

At WISE, we believe in fostering "A Change of Mind(s)". Here are some of the key ways we're doing this:

- 50% of our speakers this year are female, as is most of our team

- We believe in a human-centric approach while also acknowledging that we are living in a time where science is redefining terms like intelligence and consciousness to have a more inclusive approach to other species, be it AI, animals, or plants. We will discover a lot about those and other species in the next few years and will learn about ourselves in the process. What's next? Homo Techno? Homo Sentiens?

- We believe in the power of music to bring people together and foster emotional balance and community

- We believe the global order, education & the music industry will change dramatically in the next few years, and we're here to facilitate that change. Ask us anything about China!

- We believe in cross-border and cross-sector collaboration, breaking down silos in heads, in genres, and across industries. Between 0 and 1 lies an infinite number of possibilities. How boring to limit yourself.

- We believe in the power of artists, scientists, technology, and entrepreneurs to show us new ways and help us out of the climate change mess.

- We believe that psychedelic therapy, taken with care and under medical supervision, can greatly improve the mental health of some people. The Dutch Health Minister already declared this field a priority in his country. Why not if it helps? Depression sucks!

- We believe in crazy ideas and that Puppets can win the Eurovision of 2024. Aren't we all just living in a Muppet Show run by grumpy old men anyway? Let's rather go for Kermit's Rainbow Connection.

- We believe in good vibes, the joy of having fun, deep/lateral thinking, and discovery - best enjoyed with a cold drink and all at the same time.

Check out our 50+ Speakers and our WISE BY DAY program on our website, and if you've ever wanted to be part of Eurovision, be sure to read about our WISE x GEMA Eurovision Night.

Thank you for being part of the WISE community. We can't wait to see you at WISE 2023!

Best regards,

The WISE Team
