This year, DHL Express is the main partner of the World Happiness Summit. And for the first time, this international event isn’t organized in Miami, but in Italy at Lake Como. The event takes place from the 24th of March until the 26th of March. There will be philosophers, economists, and experts from 45 countries around the world. Even Daniel Kahneman, winner of the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences (often referred to as Nobel Prize for economics), will attend. The attendees will discuss themes about personal, professional, and collective happiness.
Well-being
The World Happiness Summit, or in short WOHASU® brings together the world’s leading experts in Wellness Sciences. They deal with the study and practical application of the principles that regulate the well-being of humans in their living environment. This event is a real opportunity to learn about the scientific data already available to promote happiness in all areas of our lives. And who doesn’t want to be happy, right?
No. 1 Best Workplace 2022
DHL Express promoted Lake Como as the venue for the fifth WOHASU® edition. We are proud to remind you that we were recently awarded No. 1 Best Workplace™ 2022 by Great Place to Work™. That’s why the values of DHL Express and its continuous pursuit of people’s well-being make us the ideal main partner. This year’s edition has the title “Connessioni”, which means connections. This concept reflects our purpose “Connecting people. Improving lives.” Behind all the shipments, there are just as many stories that connect millions of people all over the world every day.
How the World Happiness Summit fits in DHL’s global strategy

WOHASU® 2023 focuses on circulating data and viewpoints from leading experts and practitioners in positive psychology, coaching, workplace wellness, economics, leadership, art, food and nutrition, yoga, mindfulness, resilience, forgiveness, kindness, community health, conscious capitalism and positive culture.

Italy’s beauty, history and happiness
“I have always experienced Italy as a country of great beauty, history and happiness. Italy’s charm is only surpassed by its people who have given us a warm welcome, which gives me a great sense of pride in bringing the World Happiness Summit to Lake Como”, said Karen Guggenheim, CEO & Founder of WOHASU® and Producer of The World Happiness Summit. “Alberto Nobis, CEO of DHL Express Europe encouraged us to talk about wellbeing in a location that uniquely represents the main theme of WOHASU 2023: Connections. Together we have chosen the City of Como as the ideal place for this international event.”
