When great companies and inspiring social entrepreneurs collide, waves will be made.
Over three days in October 2008, Wavelength brought together 100 inspirational leaders from companies making a positive difference in the world through business. They came from all over the world to teach, learn, inspire and make new connections.
In a forum that actively promoted discussion and debate, participants heard from the world’s most admired and successful private sector companies and from pioneering and inspirational social entrepreneurs. The participants then set the agenda of burning issues and ideas to be discussed, and shared honestly their business or personal stories.
People found mentors. Deals were done. New products will soon be coming to market. Unexpected collaborations are under way.

Participant feedback:
"I have attended many leadership events and management conferences and workshops but without question this was the best two days I have ever spent away from the office. The location, style, topics, people attending and even the food were all first class and the facilitation superb. I left inspired to face the challenges ahead whilst being able to look at them from a different perspective."
