Business romantics, misfits and mavericks, humanists and animists, dreamers and changemakers, poets and rebels!

The House of Beautiful Business has gone global!

Extraordinary times require extraordinary experiences: From October 16-19, 2020, The Great Wave took place as the first-of-its-kind virtual and in-person business festival, connecting thousands of people all around the world to explore how we can work and live more beautifully.

Ticket holders can still access all content on our event portal until the end of the year.

 
 
You showed that despite months and months of Zoom/Teams/whatever calls, webinars, and digital conferences, it is still possible to create fresh, inspiring, and engaging collective moments online.
— Bruno Giussani, Global Curator, TED
Congratulations on an amazing, first-of-its kind event.
— Ciela Hartanov, Head of Next-Practice Innovation and Strategy, People Development at Google
You have created something that meets this moment. Giant ambition. First time terrain. Beautiful. Messy. Surprising. Poignant. On key. Off key. All of it.
— Jessica Orkin, CEO, SYPartners
 
What we need is a belonging without othering, even if there will be others who will deny my humanity. But even then, I don’t want to deny their humanity, because that’s fundamental. It’s not just a strategy. It’s a moral foundation.
— John A. Powell, Director of Othering & Belonging Institute, University of California, Berkeley
The problem is the constant flattening of humans. The binary of 1s and 0s, winner and loser, is so limiting. We need to have different kinds of imaginations.
— Safiya U. Noble, Professor at UCLA and Author of "Algorithms of Opression"
