The before and after for leadership programmes and conferences
The programme ends. The change doesn't have to.
We design the before and after around the leadership programme, training or event you already run, so what people learn becomes what they actually do.

How it works
We build the before and after around the programmes and events you already run, so the thing people came for lasts well beyond the last session.
Most of the learning happens outside the room
You deliver something powerful. People leave inspired. But you rarely know what happened six months later, and there is no structure to support them in making it real.
You're producing something ambitious on a budget that never quite stretches, with no room to design what happens before and after.
Why this is needed now
Four things we keep running into, in our own work as much as anyone else's.
For conferences and festivals
Copenhagen · 500 people
Future Days Festival 2026
A facilitation and leadership track inside a festival.
participants joined, 30 of them paying roughly twice the festival ticket
online sessions, 4 before the festival and 1 after
in-person Lab Day at BaneGaarden, the day before the festival opened
In a leadership programme, the same design sits inside the programme itself, so nobody pays extra.
Co-designed and facilitated by Andy Sontag and Meri Sahade and others from Future Days, in a partnership between Future Days and Kaospilot.
What you get
Participants who can name what they did differently three months on.
People who arrive already in conversation with each other, and who keep that connection after the last session.
An answer to what participants keep saying afterwards: great energy, but what next?
Who we work with
For programmes and gatherings where people come to grow.
- The people
Leadership programmes: You run a programme meant to change how people lead, and you want to know it holds once they are back at work.
Conferences and festivals: Your people come back every year, and some are asking for something deeper than a session.
- The model
Leadership programmes: The before and after is part of your programme and paid for from its fee. Participants pay nothing extra.
Conferences and festivals: Participants pay for the deeper track, and we split what is left after costs.
- The fit
Leadership programmes: Cohorts that meet as a group.
Conferences and festivals: From about 400 people.
Not sure which you are? Write to us and we will be honest about whether it fits.
