Invitation to Bogotá

All News

We are constantly being inundated with information and sound bites, but enjoy less and less time for deep reflection necessary for addressing the complex challenges of our time. Tasting, touching, and using all our senses is critical to fully understanding information in context.

Our adventure will take us to Bogotá. The four-day program will include on-site conversations with some of Bogotá’s most provocative new ventures—like a day on a former cocaine farm now growing legal crops and employing former guerrillas to discuss policy and public-private partnerships.

By experiencing new models firsthand, touring unusual establishments—such as farms, schools, informal settlements and maker spaces—and enjoying intimate and informal conversations we expect to walk away with new lenses for thinking about solving problems or harnessing opportunities, as well as laying the groundwork for tangible partnerships.

If you are interested in attending we welcome you to attend a ​trans:form:ed event.
