The second edition of the WOOP - World of Possibilities technology conference, originally set to take place in March 2020 but postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will take place at the Maison du Savoir in Esch-Belval on Tuesday 27 September 2022, starting at 09:50.
This new edition of WOOP aims to nourish reflection about the emerging post-COVID-19 world and to explore how to "change and act" (this year's theme) in order to understand it together. In 2019, the conference aimed to look at what place digitalisation would have in everyday life; now the question is rather what meaning it can bring.
