Day 2 offers unexpected voices designed to shift perspectives, keynote sessions, outdoor dining, live music, and a closing celebration.

Who will you hear from at Worthshop?

Hear from leaders, creatives, and pros sharing real-world insights alongside unexpected voices in science, creativity, leadership, markets, storytelling, and modern work. Sessions are focused, useful, and surprising—widely described as not your average real estate conference.
