Tired of lectures and panels?
We hear you. Lectures are just a single view on a topic. Panels never get deep enough into a topic. Wouldn't you rather explore topics through conversation? That's why we have a novel provocateur-responder format for this event.
Here is how we do it... a 'provocateur' gives up to 3 slides on the topic in 10 minutes. Then, a "responder" asks questions to clarify, counter or contextualise what the "provocateur" presented.
