Award winning Danish traveller, speaker, author and adventurer, Thor Pedersen takes the stage as the first human to visit every country on Earth without flying. Not as a stunt but a 10-year journey. What happens when you actually meet the places and people in between? What does one learn about humanity by visiting every country? What becomes possible when you decide to try something everyone says is impossible? This keynote is an invitation to ask yourself: What's my impossible journey? What paradigm shift am I actually willing to embrace? What would I attempt if I believed it was possible? Thor Pedersen's closing keynote doesn't offer a solution. He offers proof of what happens when individuals and organizations decide to be bold enough to try.
