About the Summit
Where Visionary Thinkers Gather
The Visionary Summit, by Above & Beyond, part of AVT Business School, is the evolution of the Womenomics Global Summit — one of Scandinavia's most celebrated annual business events, convening global leaders, bold thinkers and trailblazing organisations since 2014.
Built on a decade of championing human potential and inclusive leadership as drivers of business performance, the Summit has grown into a flagship platform for the conversations that matter most to leaders navigating a rapidly changing world.
AVT stands for the Association of Visionary Thinkers — and the Summit is where that association gathers in person.

Voices from the Summit
What gets said on the Summit stage
“AI fluency is not just about using AI to do something faster, it is about redesigning the nature of work, and that is something we need to learn. AI adoption is a human issue, not a tech issue.”
Peter Brown
Partner — Global Workforce Leader, PwC
“If we look back through history at the great companies and people we admire, much of their greatness was formed by crisis. As a leader, you can become paralysed by uncertainty. Or you can tell yourself that this is your defining moment — the moment where you leave a mark.”
Nathan Furr
Professor of Strategy and author on innovation and uncertainty
“What I experience profoundly, and more with each flight, is the power of a team — a team of talented and motivated people who bring a diversity of perspectives and backgrounds to a mission that is important, challenging and rewarding. It has formed my conviction that there is nothing people can't achieve when they work together for a common goal.”
