Description

A Beautiful Chaos, celebrates the transformative power of chaos and the incredible outcomes that can emerge from it. In today's fast-paced and ever-changing world, chaos is inevitable, but by surrendering to it and embracing its unpredictability, we can uncover hidden opportunities, create innovative solutions, and find beauty amidst the disorder. We encourage everyone to celebrate the unexpected and appreciate the incredible surprises that chaos can bring.

 

Join us for an afternoon of inspiring talks where our diverse group of speakers will share their experiences and ideas that have been birthed from the chaos. They will demonstrate how embracing chaos, experimenting fearlessly, and learning from failures can lead to remarkable breakthroughs. By sharing their stories, they will help bridge the gap between the beauty and chaos that coexist in various aspects of life.

About the venue

This year, our event will be hosted at the Atterbury Theatre, nestled within the vibrant Lynnwood Bridge Retail Square. Attendees can start their afternoon with a coffee or lunch at one of the square's many restaurants before the event, and for those eager to network and discuss the afternoon's ideas, there are a range of restaurant locations for dinner afterward. In an effort to make this experience accessible to all, we've kept ticket prices low, with all food and beverage costs outside the theatre being the responsibility of attendees.
