TED-Style Talks + Discussions | Meeting models for creativity & productivity — How we gather matters

(For our regular attendees, please note the difference in format for this month)
Topic
Meeting models for creativity & productivity — How we gather matters
Summary
An interactive experience designed around the simple idea that how we gather matters. It changes how we think, how we connect, and how we make meaning together. Some of the most important things happen in the spaces between—so rather than talking about connection, this is an opportunity to experience the range of it. Participants are moved through a series of thoughtfully curated group formats, drawn from research around what actually makes humans flourish in shared spaces.

FAQs
- What is this group about?
We meet monthly to share our passions and expertise with each other. At a typical event, 3 volunteer speakers from the group talk about something they care about, followed by questions. Each talk is 10 mins long, followed by 10 mins of Q&A
- What are the topics/subjects of the talks?
Anything and everything that a speaker might care about, including work or life experiences, research or academic interests, or even hobbies. Even controversial topics are encouraged. We don't allow talks that involve preaching or sales pitches.
- Who can join the group?
We are just curious people from all walks of life who are open to learning and getting inspired from each other. Everyone is welcome to join, as long as you are curious. Learning from each other hopefully also broadens our thinking and improves our appreciation of the "other side".
- Do I have to pay to attend?
You don't have to pay to attend, if you don't want to. We operate on a pay-what-you-feel basis. It's totally fine not to pay. We look at the amount as an indication of the value you associate with attending these events. This helps cover costs while also keeping our doors open to attend/trial the events for free.
- What if I want to speak at a future event?
If you're interested in speaking, just email us (support@tedstyletalks.freshdesk.com) with a summary of your topic. Note that all topics are encouraged, but sales pitches, preaching, and anything discriminatory or defamatory is not welcome. If in doubt, just ask. You can talk about anything you care about; work, life experience, passion project, your big idea, etc. You don’t need to be an expert speaker. On the contrary, you are encouraged to use this group to better your public speaking skills.
