Testimonials

“How can digital innovation bring people closer to the health support they need? That’s the conversation I’m bringing to MAD World through the European Patent Office’s experience—and why I value an event that asks us to share what works, explore what doesn’t and learn from one another.”

Silvia Analia Echagüe-Wehling - Director People Services and Well-being - D423, European Patent Office

“It is a privilege to be in a room with people who are invested in removing barriers to achieving their fullest potential and that of their teams. To be in a room with such like-minded people makes me confident that I will leave with new relationships and feeling invigorated in my work with leaders.”

Dr. Dapo Olafimihan - Lead Clinical Psychologist, Latitude Psychology

“At Culture Minds, we believe that the culture we create at work has a direct impact on how people feel, how they perform and ultimately how businesses succeed. That’s why I’m really looking forward to being part of MAD World Summit 2026. It’s an important opportunity to bring together people who are challenging the way we think about mental health, wellbeing, leadership and workplace culture, and to have the honest conversations that can lead to meaningful change. I’m looking forward to sharing some of my own experiences and learning from others who are equally passionate about creating healthier, more human workplaces.”

Louise Wilkinson – Founder, Culture Minds

“MAD World matters because it puts leaders in one room to face the hard questions of workplace culture and mental health. I'm most looking forward to the honest conversations about what actually works, and what doesn't.”

“I’m most looking forward to speaking with the delegates to understand what they think early-career talent really needs to thrive in today’s fast-changing world. Our workshop (B1) will turn those insights into practical ideas for building healthier, more engaging and future-ready early careers programmes”
