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

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.

Inspired by his culinary education in Macrobiotic and Ayurvedic foods, Tolga combines the principles of traditional, seasonal, regional, and plant-focused foods with his intuitive and experimental method—which will also be reflected in the menu of our HoBB dinner.
