About the Event

Every single person has their own role to play in this world. Each, on their own, a magical harmony of skills, dreams, culture, stories, and emotions. When these people come together, they form the intricate symphonies of our society. After the eXponential launch last year into our second decade, in 2025, we feature speakers from radically different fields in our society stitch their experiences together, Connecting the Dots. One of these perspectives could be the missing piece in your puzzle, a dot, the next waypoint in your journey of life.

Join us for a day of insights, delicious buffet, snacks, drinks and sweet little memories.

Let’s connect the dots - together.
