WoW Gstaad Conversations
Stories, ideas and connection, wherever you find us
Throughout the year, WoW hosts a series of curated conversations in inspiring locations near and far. From intimate author talks and morning gatherings to book launches, salons, workshops and cultural moments, each event offers a new way to experience the world of words.
These conversations bring together authors, readers and curious minds in welcoming settings, whether in the Alps, in a city, at a school, in a hotel, a museum, or another special place. Some events may feature an interview or masterclass, others a shared breakfast, apéro, book signing or open discussion, always with the same spirit of thoughtfulness, creativity and connection.
Below you’ll find highlights from our past WoW Conversations: moments of dialogue, discovery and community that continue to shape the WoW story beyond the main festival weekend.
