House of Beautiful Business Festival 2019

Homecoming— An intimate dining experience
exploring the quest for belonging 


   







What does it mean to feel truly at home? How do we cultivate a sense of emotional belonging in a world of constant flux?

A intimate dining experience, curated for the dinner festival program at the House of Beautiful Business  2019,  exploring our personal stories and what it means to belong in an age of uncertainty with 13 house residents.

The House of Beautiful Business 

was  Founded by the Business Romantic Society and brings together 600 participants from business, public sector, science, technology, the humanities, and the arts to envision and experience new models for the future of our economies and societies at human scale. This year’s topic:
—The Battle for Beautiful Business is on.  Fixing capitalism. Creating elegant operating systems for our companies that allow them to be effective, not just efficient. Celebrating humans as anti-machines in an age of machines. Enjoying moments of connection, beauty, and wonder that make “our shared humanity” not just a cliché but something so real that we can touch it.
