Till Grusche and Tim Leberecht´s The Business Romantic Society fell in love with Lisbon and has once again chosen the Portuguese capital this year – which had already hosted the 2017 edition – as the venue for House of Beautiful Business. The opening ceremony took place at the Academy of Sciences and the record number of participants, around 500, forced us to hold HoBB at Dear Lisbon – Gallery House, in São Bento, however the intimate spirit – one of the distinguishing features of this event – remained intact.
Scheduled to last for six days, in parallel with the Web Summit, House of Beautiful Business focused debates on the future of work, more specifically on the manner in which business can be humanised “in the age of machinery”. The programme is not limited to lectures and workshops: it runs from morning to evening and also features yoga classes, races and artistic activities.
