THE FUTURE IS SHAPED BY
BOLD THINKERS
Now is not the time for safe conversations. Now more than ever, we need bold thinkers—innovators, disruptors, and problem solvers who don’t just challenge the status quo, but redefine it.
As industries face unprecedented shifts driven by AI, geopolitical uncertainty, and rapid technological change, adaptability is no longer optional. Propela curates a network of bold thinkers—leaders who help organisations navigate complexity, make sense of the unknown, and find new opportunities in an era where the only certainty is change.
If your event aims to lead, not follow—this is where the conversation begins.

REDEFINING POSSIBILITIES
We are the maverick curators—your future-focused partner for securing the most visionary speakers in Business, Culture, and Innovation.
