About WOHASU

Our Mission

Founded in 2016 by Karen Guggenheim, WOHASU® is the world’s leading creator of evidence-based wellbeing events and services, including the acclaimed World Happiness Summit® - recognized by Forbes as a Top 5 Leadership Summit in the World.

WOHASU offers immersive events, consulting, training programs, and curated content. We promote wellbeing at scale by increasing awareness of the science behind happiness, cultivating community, and providing organizations and individuals with the tools for positive change.

World Happiness Summit®

The World Happiness Summit® (WOHASU®) is the premier global forum dedicated to the science and practice of happiness and wellbeing. It is a transformative convergence of leaders and visionaries from business, government, education, and the sciences who come together to drive systemic change, redefining success through purpose, connection, and happiness. An experiential event, the Summit features keynotes, panels, workshops, group activities, and community engagement. 

The World Wellbeing Policy Forum

The wellbeing of present and future generations should be the main objective of societies.

A satellite event of the Summit and an initiative by the WOHASU® Wellbeing Foundation, the World Wellbeing Policy Forum promotes an international dialogue on evidence-based tools to improve well-being around the world. This aim should be a central part of public and private sector agendas. 

The Policy Forum operates at the intersection of wellbeing and public policy, business, and education. We bring together leading experts to inform systemic solutions to cross-sector challenges.

The Inaugural Forum was launched at the London School of Economics in March 2024
