"Without the people, this is just an empty building" - Pablo Garcia Tello

This sentiment resonated deeply during the 10th-anniversary celebration of IdeaSquare at CERN, marking a decade of innovation, creativity, and collaboration. What began as an ambitious experiment has evolved into a vibrant hub where bold ideas meet daring execution.

The anniversary event captured the spirit of IdeaSquare perfectly: playful, dynamic, and endlessly iterative. Attendees redesigned birthday hats at a prototyping station, shared stories, and reflected on a journey that has been as much about people as it has been about science and innovation.

Here’s to the next 10 years of breaking boundaries, challenging conventions, and creating a better future.
