Event Summary

A surprise for the community! Florence was a departure from our usual location reveals, but it was a welcome one. The city’s charm won over our hearts, and the 550 guests who joined us left with unforgettable memories. Cinema La Compagnia provided a magical setting for our show, complete with a semi-rave finale that left everyone dancing in the theatre together. It was an unforgettable experience that will be etched in our memories forever.

    Embracing the idea that “A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there,” this theme challenges our presenters to interpret how comfort often leads to complacency, stifling creativity and ambition. Throughout the event, presenters will share their unique takes on breaking free from routine, embracing uncertainty, and pursuing transformative change.
