From 2003-2008, the PUSH conference was the Push Institute’s most public project. In a very short time, PUSH earned an international reputation for packaging provocative, inspiring content inside a fun and transformative experience. Our network extended far and wide and, following the 2008 conference, we recognized that the time had come to expand our offerings.
We were eager to focus on projects, already incubating, that would allow us to extend our reach beyond our once a year, 350-people event and fulfill our mission to foster Change Literacy on a global scale.
We’re extremely proud of PUSH and pleased to share the best of the best — 2005-2008 — with you.
ABOUT PUSH
The PUSH Conference was created in response to a need for businesses to ground strategy and leadership in a credible glimpse of the future, a sense of passion and possibility, and the ability to ask the right questions. The Push Institute is devoted to identifying issues of consequence, exploring them with some of the greatest minds we can find, and helping to shape the questions that matter most. No bullet points, no how–tos, just an elite level of conversation you won’t get anywhere else.
Known for its bold look into the future, intellectual rigor and multidisciplinary focus, the PUSH Conference probes the juicy intersection among change, culture, and business to explore what’s pushing the future in new directions. Through presentations by leading thinkers and artists, PUSH inspired participants to arrive at “best questions” — the first step in driving innovation and strategy within their organizations.
(Note: the all caps PUSH is shorthand for the conference only.)
