CONFERENCES

Meet authors who inspire us to move into the future, as part of the "2040, j'y vais!" conferences.

The “2040, j’y vais!” conferences help to create spaces for dialogue and encounters between authors and the general public, in order to cultivate a posture of lucid optimism.

The aim is to enable citizens and readers to :

  • to better understand today’s challenges
  • connect with their emotions and open up their imaginations
  • explore possible futures and be inspired by stories that reinforce hope and stimulate action.

These conferences are interactive and co-organized by the Hub des possibles, the booksellers Payotbooksellers, the Vidy-Lausanne and the Alumnil network.

Guest authors include : Léa Falco, Jean-Pierre-Goux, Cyril Dion, Sandrine Roudaut.
