WTF is See Change Sessions?
Imagine an event where topical areas intersect in a meaningful way. Where you can connect, gain fresh insights, and uncover ideas that might inspire change across industries. A place where we're not just sharing knowledge; we’re building a space to connect, commune, and collaborate, breaking down silos to tackle industry challenges together.
Enter, See Change Sessions. Our sessions push boundaries creatively blending work and play. In a world where conferences often serve as echo chambers, we believe in breaking the mold. Diverse and distinct perspectives aren’t just welcomed—they’re essential. When we bring new people together, we’re not just exchanging ideas; we’re building the relationships and networks that drive innovative thinking. This is more than just a gathering; it’s a catalyst to challenge the way you think and interact in the world.
BLENDING WORK & PLAY—ALL DAY
We often hear that the sessions don’t feel like “your average work event”—and that’s our secret ingredient for actually getting things done. When diverse, innovative people come together, they should touch grass and get to know and learn from each other. Blending work with play in an inspiring setting is where the real magic happens. We gather at Hula, a vibrant coworking hub on the shores of Lake Champlain. It is more than just a venue—it’s a playground for ideas, a space where connections spark innovation, and fresh insights inspire change across industries. Our crew doesn’t just discuss new possibilities for their field; they’re encouraged to reimagine what’s possible when there’s space to breathe and time to reflect.
“The organizers take a unique approach…all of which work to build community and trust which deepens discussions.” – Chris Marquis (Professor, University of Cambridge)
GENUINE PEOPLE WORTH KNOWING
We’re growing a highly-curated community of interdisciplinary leaders. Visionary innovators, founders, students, CEOs, executives, VCs, brands, policymakers, scholars, NPOs, scientists, designers, storytellers, artists, and so much more. The strength of our crew lies in the diversity of their lived experiences, cultures, and skill sets. Each of our crewmates are committed to breaking down societal barriers and embracing a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to tackle global challenges. Let our crew be an asset to you.
“See Change clearly is on to something when it comes to the alchemy of forming human connection and using that connection to align the benefit among people and the technology they are creating. I hope to bring some of this perspective back to my work.” – Jeffrey Guido (Senior Director New Missions, Planet Labs)
READ THE TRACK CASE STUDIES
Exploring the Future of Packaging
Over the past three years, we've been on a journey to rethink the future of packaging—building relationships and new ways of thinking along the way. In partnership with visionary Brandi Parker and the innovative team at Atlantic Packaging, our latest flagship event brought together experts to explore bold, circular solutions to the plastic crisis. Check out our case study for insights and outcomes!
Placemaking: Using Place to Cultivate Interdependence & Belonging
Through iterative, interactive sessions, the placemaking track tackled a big question: How can we break down silos to focus on the human side of planning, where architects, developers, and community voices meet? Together we aimed to explore the importance of thinking beyond aesthetic design and toward a philosophy that elevates the practical and social interactions that occur within a space that can heal, restore, and ignite connection in our communities. Read on to learn more.
Earth’s Orbital Space Has No Rules & Here’s Why We Care
The space track launched into the urgent need for governance in Earth’s orbit, where the surge in satellites poses serious risks. With key industries relying on orbital assets, a lack of rules increases collision risks—one crash could trigger a chain reaction impacting life on Earth. How can we establish effective practices and governance now to support our expanding activities in space? See the findings below.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
- “...we were challenged to develop practical solutions for the space debris problem, but expressing those ideas in a more creative/unconventional way.” – Naia Butler-Craig (NASA Space Technology Fellow & Aerospace Engineering PhD Candidate)
- “The biggest takeaway for me was the opportunity for a self-alignment of passion, profession, and purpose in this mindfully designed environment. I was able to regain some of the “pinch me” energy of my fortunate opportunity to create meaningful impact and change in my professional trajectory, with some added tools for success. I would encourage innovators and change instigators to get themselves and their partners to the next session to unlock more of your inherent and untapped ability.” — Chris Carella
- “Going in, I didn't know what to expect given the emphasis on play as strongly as work, but I left feeling deeply enthusiastic about the formula! The thing I was most surprised by was just how insightful the sessions were.” – Aiden O’Leary (Founder & CEO, Omnetix LLC)
- “Having been deeply involved in planning and organizing it, I've gone from apprehension about what the three days would be like and what they bring to delight with the outcome. That's been a fantastic experience.” —Jack B. (Expert)
