We deeply believe in the transformative power of ideas, knowing they, and the brilliant minds behind them, originate from all contexts, across all latitudes. That’s why, even though our event is “invite-only,” we’ve created a call for ideas.

The best applicants will receive an invitation to be among the 40 selected individuals to participate in our exclusive event. A close-knit working group to create an impactful document and an innovative, resilient community.

If you have a story to share—whether it’s a success or even a failure, because good ideas don’t always find their way due to timing or context—or a proposal that reimagines how we serve our communities, you can apply to our call for ideas.

Selected participants will have the opportunity to join the event, held exclusively in person, in Catania from June 5th to 7th, 2025. The initiative will include an unconference segment (with topics chosen on the spot by participants, blurring the lines between speakers and attendees) and working groups focused on creating the 10 points document, that will be shared in a public conference at the end of the event.

Invitation Perks:

• Exclusive invitation to event on June 5-7, with access to all the sessions and provided lunches, dinners, and aperitifs.
• Opportunity for select participants to deliver an “Ignite talk” (a 5-minute, fast-paced presentation) to leading international media figures.
• Special hotel rate: Sheraton Catania (€130/night, June 5-6).

  Note: Travel to/from Catania is at participant’s expense.

  DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING APPLICATIONS:  APRIL 25, 2025
