Monocle Quality of Life Conference 2026 in Lisbon: Last Chance to Register

The Monocle Quality of Life Conference 2026 is set to take place in Lisbon, Portugal, starting this coming Thursday with welcoming drinks, followed by sessions on Friday and Saturday morning. Despite the event being imminent, organizers are encouraging last-minute registrations. The conference, known for its relaxed and informal atmosphere, explicitly avoids lanyards, workshops, breakout sessions, and over-rehearsed TED-style talks. Instead, it is described as an 'urban retreat' where attendees can network and engage with speakers and the Monocle team. The event will feature panels on topics such as hospitality, with speakers who have expertise in branding, family business reorientation, and career changes later in life. Attendees will also have the opportunity to explore Lisbon beyond typical tourist sites, with organized access to special locations on Saturday. The conference is expected to attract a diverse group of 'super cool' people who are inquisitive and caring, and it promises surprises this year. Tickets are still available for purchase online or by emailing Hannah Girst. The event is part of Monocle's broader series of quality-of-life conferences, which have been held in various cities worldwide.
