The World Happiness Summit (WOHASU ) is set to return to Miami for its seventh edition from 15-16 March, 2025.

Founded by Karen Guggenheim in 2016, WOHASU is dedicated to elevating global wellbeing and raising awareness about the science of happiness. The annual summit delves into evidence-based tools for enhancing happiness and fulfilment in both personal and professional spheres.

Next year’s conference will be held at the New World Center in Miami Beach, centred around the theme of ‘Hope & Community’. The event programme will feature a lineup of keynotes and panels designed to inform and inspire attendees.

Although WOHASU is yet to release its 2025 speaker roster, previous conferences have been headlined by leading academics, lawyers, doctors, Olympic athletes, environmental specialists, musicians and filmmakers. Notable past speakers include 19th and 21st US surgeon general and author Dr Vivek Murthy and psychologist Dr Laurie Santos.

Standard tickets, priced at US$663 (€601, £516), grant access to a variety of experiences, including:
• Keynotes and panels.
• Interactive breakout sessions.
• Meet-and-greets with speakers.
• Book signings.
• Tribe Time group experiences with a coach facilitator.
• Meditation, yoga, and music sessions.
• Access to the event app and expo booths.
• Networking opportunities.
• A comprehensive summit workbook.

Last March, WOHASU hosted its first-ever World Wellbeing Policy Forum in London to explore the role that government, business, politics and education have to play in improving global wellbeing. This event was a precursor to the sixth annual WOHASU which also took place in London.
