Global Event · March 2026
24 Hours Marathon
A worldwide, non-profit event connecting mediators, negotiators, leaders, and peacebuilders across all time zones.
24 hours. Every continent.
One conversation that matters.
The 24 Hours Marathon is a free, non-stop global conference where experienced mediators, negotiators, coaches, and peacebuilders come together — live — to share knowledge, challenge ideas, and build the connections that move the field forward.
No admission fee. No sponsor agenda. Just powerful, practitioner-led conversations happening around the clock — across every time zone on the planet.
Why You Need to Be Here
Whether you are a seasoned mediator or an emerging leader — if you believe the world needs better conversations, this event is built for you.
Learn from the World’s Best
48+ speakers from every continent sharing what actually works in the field. Negotiators, mediators, executive coaches, peacebuilders — no theory for theory’s sake.
Build a Global Network
Connect with practitioners you would never meet at a regional conference. The Marathon breaks geographic barriers and sparks the collaborations that last for years.
Watch Live or On Replay
Sessions span every time zone. Tune in live whenever it suits you, or watch the full 24-hour library on replay. The content is yours long after the event ends.
Take It Straight Back to Work
Real cases, battle-tested frameworks, hard-won insights. Walk away with tools and perspectives you can use in your next session, negotiation, or leadership challenge.
“This is where the field comes to think out loud. One event, one day — and you will walk away knowing exactly who is pushing the boundaries in mediation, negotiation, and leadership worldwide.”
FOR CONTRIBUTORS & SPEAKERS
Your voice can change how the world handles conflict.
We are looking for practitioners, researchers, and thought leaders with something real to say — people whose work makes a tangible difference in mediation, negotiation, leadership, or peacebuilding.
A Platform That Reaches the Field
Speak to practitioners from every continent who are actively working in the field and hungry for genuine expertise and fresh perspective.
No Commercial Agenda. Ever.
No sponsors pulling strings. No fees. No upsell. The most credible stage to share ideas that matter — because the community’s trust is the only currency here.
Reach That Outlasts the Event
Your session is recorded and available to new practitioners weeks and months later — extending your reach long after the 24 hours end.
Topics: mediation & conflict resolution · leadership & executive development · negotiation · organizational dynamics · peacebuilding · crisis intervention

WE’D LOVE TO HAVE YOU AT THE TABLE
Built for organizations that take leadership seriously
We are reaching out to a small, curated group of organizations whose work already intersects with the themes of this event — and who have the credibility to call themselves a founding partner of something genuinely global.
Assessment and development tools like BrainCompass, Insights Discovery, and Lumina Learning speak directly to the practitioners attending. Diverse Leaders in Tech brings a perspective the field urgently needs. And for institutions like the University of Twente — whose graduates and researchers already help power this event — a partnership is a natural extension of what you already stand for.
Partnerships can take multiple forms: financial contribution, barter, or in-kind support. We are open to the conversation.
A 20-minute call is all it takes. No obligation.
