Humans are obsessed with certainty. We crave brightly lit lives where everything is clear, predictable, and neatly under control. But as you all know deep down, we have a secret lust for chaos. It’s messy. It’s unpredictable. It’s where things break, twist, and unravel—and it’s exactly where life gets interesting 😏

More importantly, the greatest creativity, the most daring innovation, and the wildest breakthroughs don’t come from what we know. They’re born from the places we can’t see, the questions we don’t have answers to, and the edges where chaos and order collide.

📣 I’m beyond proud to announce that registration is now open for our second Suits & Sneakers event and we’re welcoming the incredible Pierre du Plessis to the stage for the very first time! ❤️

In his keynote, “In Praise of Shadows”, Pierre will take us on a journey into the dance between certainty and mystery, order and chaos. He’ll show us how our obsession with lighting up every dark corner of life blinds us to the beauty of shadows—the spaces of uncertainty where true magic happens.
