What is Congregation?

One day virtual mind mesh festival of thinking, sharing and connecting.

Celebrating its 9th year, CongRegation™ #cong21 (Nov 26-28th), returns once again to Cong Village as a physical event under the theme of ‘Leadership’.

Our worlds and societies have evolved.  However how we guide, mould, steer, marshal and who we chose for these roles has lagged behind.  CongRegation will challenge, offer new perspectives and presents a blank canvas to discuss what it means to be a leader and what type leadership we need for business, society, personal and spiritual lives.

One of the key components of CongRegation™ is the diverse background and thinking of attendees and this includes technologists, psychologists, business people, start up community, academics, visionaries, disruptors and sector specific from farming to manufacturing.

Tickets are earned via a submission on the theme which will be debated in virtual huddles on November 24th 2021.

Social Venues

CongRegation™ 2021 will take place in Cong Village with huddles in social venues from bars, restaurants, cafes, bookshop to creative spaces.

Unique Networking

Discuss and share your insights on 'Leadership'. You pay with your insight and are encouraged to share your thoughts on everything ranging from your own personal journey, to industry insights to how ideas are helping shape your sector. We are treating 'Leadership' in its broadest form from psychology, technology, personal experiences to methodology.
