Silicon Valley Inspiration Tours (est 2012) leveled up and relaunches in January 2024 under a new brand: "CONFERENCE ON WHEELS". Because: that is exactly what it is. Learn more about this program.

1. SLOW DOWN (TO SPEED UP)
Bespoke Inspiration Tours in Silicon Valley
and other Innovation hubs in the world
CONFERENCE ON WHEELS | THE FLIPPED CONFERENCE to
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
PROGRAM
2024

2. CONFERENCE ON WHEELS
WE BELIEVE THAT IN AN ERA PAST "PEAK TALK",
CONVERSATIONS WITH DEPTH ARE IN NEED.
INSTEAD OF POURING AN AVALANCHE
OF GRAND IDEAS TO A HUGE AUDIENCE,
WE WANT TO CURATE MEANINGFUL CONVERSATIONS
WITH SOME OF THE MOST INSPIRING PERSONALITIES
IN THE WORLDS MOST RELEVANT INNOVATION ECOSYSTEMS
FOR A SMALL GROUP, COMMITTED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
IN THIS PROGRAM, DESIGNED FOR SMALL GROUPS OF
MAX 10 PARTICIPANTS, WE CURATE A CUSTOM PROGRAM WITH
UP TO 5 IN-PERSON MEETINGS, EACH DAY.

3. THE FLIPPED CONFERENCE
THE CURATION TEAM IS NATIVE IN THE WORLD OF INNOVATION
CONFERENCES SUCH AS TED, SINGULARITY UNIVERSITY OR OTHERS.
THE PROGRAM HAS THE DNA OF A CONFERENCE WITH ONE
SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENTIATION:
INSTEAD OF SITTING IN A VENUE, HAVING ONE SPEAKER AFTER THE
OTHER JOIN THE EVENT – WE DRIVE TO THE SPEAKERS AND VISIT
THEM – IN THEIR "NATURAL HABITAT". AND AFTER THE TALK, WE
HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO TALK ABOUT IT. TO GAIN SOME DEPTH AND A
BETTER UNDERSTANDING.
ITS LIKE A WHOLE WEEK ON BACKSTAGE, JUST BETTER.

4. CUSTOMIZED.
SINCE 2012, WE CONDUCTED 162 INSPIRATION TOURS.
NOT TWO TOURS HAD THE SAME SCHEDULE.
EVERY TOUR IS CUSTOMIZED TO THE PARTICIPANTS:
BACKGROUNDS, INDUSTRY, VISION, MISSION, PLANS,
EXPECTATIONS, TECHNOLOGY.
10 PARTICIPANTS WILL BE ADMITTED TO EACH FLIGHT.
EACH OF THE 10 PARTICIPANTS WILL HAVE
MEETINGS/CONVERSATIONS/TALKS,
CURATED JUST FOR THEM.

5. GO GLOBAL
SILICON VALLEY INSPIRATION TOURS, FOUNDED IN 2012,
EXPANDED TO NEW YORK, TEL AVIV, DUBAI, MUMBAI,
HONGKONG/SHENZHEN IN 2018
IN 2023, THE PROGRAM LEVELED UP TO
"CONFERENCE ON WHEELS" AND OPERATES
IN ANY INNOVATION HUB IN THE WORLD.
LET'S CREATE SOMETHING WITH IMPACT, TOGETHER.

6. EACH TOUR IS…
A HIGHLY EXCLUSIVE AND INTENSE EXPERIENCE FOR A GROUP OF MAX 10
PARTICIPANTS.
A COMPLETE TAYLOR-MADE EXPERIENCE: THE PROGRAM IS CURATED AROUND THE
PARTICIPANTS BACKGROUNDS, QUESTIONS, VISIONS, CONCERNS AND HOPES.
A SET OF UP TO 5 CONVERSATIONS, MEETUPS, TALKS, WORKSHOPS
AND SITE VISITS EVERY DAY.
A DIVE DEEP INTO THE ANATOMY OF EXPONENTIAL ORGANIZATIONS WHICH IS A
COMBINATION OF FUTURE MINDSET, EXPONENTIAL GROWTH STRATEGIES, DESIGN
THINKING 3.0, GROWTH HACKING AND THE SKILLS OF SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
