About us
Once a year, a hundred curious souls - founders, creators, makers and independent thinkers – come together for DO Wales to trade stories that spark them into action. Demand now outstrips tickets, so getting in often means joining a wait list.
Since 2008, we’ve curated three days and nights in west Wales where connection happens around fire pits, long tables and under starry skies.
We believe you’re capable of more than you allow yourself to believe. Big dreams shrink when you aim for “realistic”; we’re here to stretch them back out.
Our purpose is simple
To help thoughtful people leave with one idea they feel compelled to act on. You’ll hear from remarkable doers, take part in practical workshops and, if we’ve done our job, head home feeling braver, clearer and ready to build the future you wish existed.
What we are
(and what we’re not)
This isn’t a conference with panels and sponsors.
There are no VIP sections, no green rooms.
It’s a weekend retreat disguised as a festival, with the intimacy of gathering around a kitchen table.
Our 100‑person limit isn’t exclusivity for its own sake; it’s how we keep conversations intimate and the magic that comes from being able to talk to everyone.
We stay small to think big.
The Do Lectures began with a simple idea: you are here, but you want to be here. Our quest is to close that gap and help you reach your potential as a human being.
At the start, we invited a handful of people doing extraordinary things to share their stories in a cowshed on a Welsh farm. Those early weekends were raw, honest and life‑changing.
Sixteen years on, we’ve taken the magic to America and Australia, published over 380 talks online for free, launched the Do Book Company to share practical wisdom and built a global family of people who believe in doing, not just dreaming.
Plus, now, there’s Do Radio: 24‑hour conversations to bring people together.
Whether you come for the talks, the workshops, the long walks in the woods or the dawn coffee conversations, you’ll find a space to reconnect with what matters and discover what’s possible.
If you’re curious, adventurous and ready to make your idea happen, we’d love to welcome you to our next gathering.
As we always say: stay curious.
