One of the most anticipated names at the event is Adam Kahane, director of Reos Partners. He became known worldwide for helping the South African community in the transition process from apartheid to democracy and also for mediating negotiations between the Colombian government and the FARC.

In an interview with UOL, Kahane pointed out that, for conflict mediation work, it is important to recognize the possibility of transformation in others. ''For me this is a crucial conclusion: it is possible to work with people we don't agree with, understanding each other and trying to figure out what we can do together, without letting other things destroy everything''.
