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.

Walk & Reconnect! September

Have you noticed that we're more and more connected at a distance, but less and less in real life? Come and enjoy a simple experience that's essential to the beauty of our humanity!

What if, to reconnect with life, we had to change our narrative?

A round table discussion with Céline Cerny, Guido Palazzo, Agnieszka Soltysikmonnet, moderated by Chantal Peyer, to ask how we can transform our view of living things.
What if we imagined what a Geneva watchmaking company employing 450 people might look like in 2040? What challenges would it face? How will it manage artificial intelligence, sustainability, governance and its production chain? How will it produce within planetary limits? The Hub des possibles invites you to a mock general meeting of the chronosphere company.
