THE UNEXPECTED
We begin with the industry, voices that shape our work.
We end with the unexpected, ideas that shift our ground.
Day One
The Industry
Choose your adventure.
Thursday morning begins beyond the conference walls. Guests head out on the water, into the waves, or over the land for a chance to get grounded and connect in one of the world’s most beautiful places.
-
Worthshop Catamaran Sail - Begin the day together on the water aboard Trilogy’s 54-foot sloop-rigged catamaran, built for comfort and open-ocean performance. Wide decks, shaded seating, and unobstructed views of Kahoʻolawe and Lānaʻi make it easy to relax side by side, soaking in the island’s beauty. Guided by an expert captain and crew, the sail offers time for snorkeling at Molokini Crater and Turtle Town, or simply leaning on the rail with new friends as the island unfolds around you.
-
Worthshop Surf School - Head into the lineup with local instructors and fellow Worthshop guests, sharing the thrill of Maui’s waves together. Depending on conditions, the group may head north to find the best breaks, trading encouragement and stories between sets. Whether it is your first ride or your hundredth, this is less about perfect form and more about the camaraderie of being in the water, feeling the energy of the ocean, and catching waves alongside one another.
-
Worthshop Land Adventure - For those who prefer to stay grounded, the Maui by Land option offers a slower start that is still rich in connection. Guests will experience the island’s landscapes and culture together — walking through hidden gardens, visiting local farms, or stepping into sites with stories best shared in a group. It is designed to be restorative, weaving personal discovery with collective moments, a chance to see Maui’s beauty while deepening bonds with your peers.
Guest choose one adventure. After excursions, we return to the stage.

Luxury Property Excursion
Sunset. Pupus. Friends. Da Life.

It’s a relaxed way to spend time together — talking, mingling, and taking in the island from a unique setting. For some, the beach or resort grounds may call instead, and that works too. If a social outing is your style, join us for the Luxury Property Excursion. We’ll all reconvene back on property after dark for the evening’s program.
Attendees return to the resort after sunset for a special evening talk.

After Dark

Bold, cinematic, and described as “a morse code burst of hope,” the evening is part talk, part film, all John Picard—bending how we think and setting the stage for Day Two, The Unexpected.

The Magic You Can’t Schedule
What makes Worthshop powerful isn’t just what happens on stage. It’s the sparks that fly in between — the sunrise yoga, the beach walks, the late-night bonfires. On Maui, in this setting of ocean and sky, the unplanned moments are what truly stitch it all together.
