“The anarchic nature of the sessions took some getting used to. Tracks could be organised, re-arranged or changed on the fly to suit the whim of the audience.”
“The ability to engage with and directly challenge speakers (and other audience members) allowed for a much deeper investigation of the core issues than you would normally expect.”
New approach
Learning is socialLearning is funLet’s do events differently
