Inspired by Jack and the Beanstalk, our theme – Roots and Reach – explores the journey from where we begin and where we dare to go. Like Jack, who climbed into the unknown with courage and curiosity, we hope to reflect on the foundations that ground us and the aspirations that drive us. In a world of both limitless possibility and constant complexity and unrest, Roots and Reach emphasizes the importance of grounding ourselves while pursuing ambitious goals.
