2022 Wellbeing Forum

From Surviving to Thriving - Wellbeing for the Individual, Systems and Society

The Wellbeing Forum (WBF) examines the leading indicators of trends in physical and mental health globally so that the health problems of today do not become tomorrowโ€™s health crises. WBF brings together a highly-curated group of decision makers in the private sector, policy, and innovation to discuss the trends and solutions for the future of health and wellbeing. The meeting will draw on cutting edge thinking and we will hear from leading thinkers in different sectors about their own professional and personal coping strategies during this unprecedented moment in history.
