The experience of the Tomorrow People Happiness and Well-being conference can be described as pivotal, transformative, professional and performative. There I met "myself" in both the attendees and presenters; all wonderful souls and beings that embody forward thinking, cooperation, compassion and innovation. The conversations we had allowed me to envision more clearly my place and responsibility in creating a future for all. A future of collectivity, abundance and equity. In me lies a renewed hope of a tomorrow worth working toward and living for.

It is not often that one attends an international conference that is exactly that, truly international. The inaugural International Conference on Happiness and Well-being [ICHW2023] organized by Tomorrow People in Bangkok was insightful, thought-provoking and inspiring. Connecting with so many like-minded people and listening to an array of presentations from all over the world was a great privilege. And to hear the perspectives of working towards achieving happiness and wellbeing from so many different cultures left me feeling a sense of hope that, together, we can make a difference and create a kinder, more considerate and compassionate world.

Wonderful experience presenting and hearing other presenters at this first and unique conference about Happiness and Well-Being. Many perspectives to consider if happiness is a journey or a state of being or a low bar compared to joy!

The conference is an eye opener of depth and learning. You can expect the unexpected with extraordinarily diverse topics and meeting other experts and learners. The conference enabled me to share new research topics, get out of my comfort zone, embrace a growth mindset and get better at what I do. I learn so much and each time, aspirations become stronger and empowered. The organizers have an empowered vision for growth and bringing multicultural people under one roof. I am grateful the Universe aligned me with the right people, meaningful experiences, and the journey ahead is bright and abundant. Keep up the great work and Thank you!.
