GWSCONF is a place for bright minds in the fields of academia, business, and non-profit and government sectors to meet, listen to the one-of-a-kind perspectives, re-evaluate own assumptions, apply methodologies and frameworks to own work, get inspired, and stay connected long after the event is over.
Knowledge exchange is at the heart of everything we do.
