What we do
Let Ideas Run is an exclusive movement and impact platform that makes selected conferences less sit-and-listen, and more move-and-fund.
‘LET IDEAS RUN’ app
The engine behind the experience
Integrated into the existing conference app, Let Ideas Run turns verified participant movement into measurable sponsor engagement and funding for research.
The first selected conference, venue and brand partnerships are being developed for the 2027/28 season.
WE TALK HEALTH. WE SIT ALL DAY.
1.8 BILLION adults don’t get enough physical activity globally.
And many conferences still keep people seated for most of the day.
IDEAS MOVE BETTER WHEN PEOPLE DO.
Walking can boost creative output by around 60%
Stanford researchers found people generated more creative ideas while walking than sitting.
Not evey breakthrough needs a breakout room.
PEOPLE DON’T JUST COME FOR THE TALKS.
81% say networking is the primary reason for attending.
Connections outperform learning as a reason to show up at events.
Give people a better reason to meet than another coffee break.
SCIENCE NEEDS MORE WAYS TO GET FUNDED.
Global health research and development funding fell nearly 6% in 2024.
That was a drop to $8.7 billion.
New funding models are not nice-to-have. They are essential.
Arrive with hundreds of people—and spend most of the
day seated.
Try to build meaningful connections between scheduled
sessions.
Experience the host city mostly through a hotel or
taxi window.
Leave while the field’s research-funding challenge
remains unchanged.
A relevant partner backs a movement milestone and a
named research cause.
Attendees walk, run, explore and connect through
conference challenges.
The platform turns eligible activity into transparent,
measurable progress.
Reaching the milestone releases sponsor-backed funding
for research.
Tailored to the event. Protected by an agreed category,
territory and term. Measured at the finish line.
GET IN.
SIT DOWN.
FLY HOME.
