2 What is Fifteen Seconds Festival? Back in 2012, friends and Fifteen Seconds founders Stefan Stücklschweiger and Thiemo Gillissen joined forces to build a business conference, done differently: no egos, no agendas, no bullshit. Rather an immersive experience designed to make everyone involved grow. Both found out very early that what makes great organizations stand out is the people behind them. People that share a certain set of attitudes. They inspire others, share what they learned and how they failed and never stop improving themselves. And they use the power of relationships. Stefan, Thiemo, and their team committed to build the community and space required to connect these people and facilitate new relationships and knowledge-transfer, all within an environment fueled by creativity and innovation. Since 2014, thousands of thinkers and makers from all over the globe have decided to join Fifteen Seconds and helped make it into what it is today: the world s leading interdisciplinary business festival.
