Program Structure
OWP allows you to compose your own program from a palette of streams reflecting current global trends. Each morning you will start your day with morning plenary sessions, designed to challenge your perspectives. After this session, you will join your chosen morning stream. Eight morning streams are offered and all are designed to help you harness complexity.
In the early afternoon you will get inspired by presentations and Q&As with leading experts from a variety of industries and fields. You will choose one of three presentations offered daily. Then you join your chosen afternoon stream. Eight afternoon streams are offered, all of which will help you to drive superior performance.
In the evening, you will participate in "mind-expanding" non-traditional sessions run by renowned keynote speakers.
