The week will unfold as follows, with each day centered on a unique theme.
Hear from and be inspired by major icons during interviews with a diverse range of speakers who are making world-changing impact; check out the on-demand content; join workshops (known as Discovery Sessions) to learn about something new or dive deep into a topic you already love; take part in the live Q&A; and join the community chat (based on pass type — see pass details below for more details).
What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
Marcus Koh – World Yo-Yo Champion and Global Yo-Yo Ambassador
Marcus Koh’s journey from a curious young boy spinning a yo-yo for fun to becoming a World Yo-Yo Champion is nothing short of inspiring. Born and raised in Singapore, Marcus discovered yo-yoing at the age of 10 and quickly developed a passion for the sport. What started as a simple hobby soon transformed into a full-fledged pursuit of excellence as he dedicated countless hours to mastering intricate tricks and innovative styles.
At the age of 18, Marcus made history when he won the World Yo-Yo Contest, placing Singapore firmly on the map of competitive yo-yoing. His winning performance, celebrated for its precision, creativity, and stage presence, not only earned him the title of World Yo-Yo Champion but also solidified his reputation as one of the leading figures in the global yo-yo community.
Since then, Marcus has become much more than a competitor. He has performed and conducted workshops around the world, inspiring young players and growing the sport’s popularity across Asia, Europe, and North America. His work as a mentor and innovator has helped elevate yo-yoing from a niche pastime into a respected art form and competitive discipline.
Today, Marcus continues to push the boundaries of what can be achieved with a yo-yo. Through collaborations, public performances, and educational initiatives, he shares his belief that yo-yoing is more than just tricks — it’s about creativity, focus, and the courage to express oneself. Whether on the world stage or in community events, Marcus Koh remains dedicated to inspiring the next generation to dream big and chase their passions, one spin at a time.
