We invite you to join us for a compelling Learning Lunch with Glen Willoughby, exploring one of the most ambitious innovation journeys on the planet.

In this engaging and thought-provoking session, Glen takes us inside NASA, unpacking a decade of technology innovation and the lessons it offers for organisations here on Earth. From bold experimentation to navigating uncertainty, this is a rare opportunity to learn how world-leading teams turn visionary ideas into real-world impact.

Known for his grounded, accessible style, Glen brings complex ideas to life through practical insights and storytelling. Whether you are a leader, innovator, or simply curious about the future, this session is designed to inspire fresh thinking and meaningful conversation.

At the heart of it all is NASA’s powerful ethos to “Dare Mighty Things”, and what that truly means for organisations striving to create lasting value for humanity.
