Stream is a family-style event known as an “unconference”, which means everyone, including you (!) contributes to the agenda. We’ll run a handful of main stage Luminary Talks, but the majority of each day will be taken up by one-hour sessions, known as Discussions, suggested and lead by you, the participants.
Previous topics include: “How far can HealthTech really go?”; “We need permanent rebellion”; “Complacency: the cancer of humanity”; “We don't know how the sharing economy will affect your business, but we did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night”; “PUTTING THE SOCIAL INTO SELLING”; “David and Goliath, who'll win?” and “My Gen Z kid doesn't believe in brands or shopping together anymore”.
In the mornings and the evenings, we’ll run a variety of social and sporting activities; ranging from cooking dinner together, PPTX Karaoke for the consummate talkers, drone flying and time for you meet and talk to your fellow guests without an agenda. Read more about the activities here, or add your idea for a Discussion topic here.
