Programme
We are excited to share our draft programme in development below.
You can also find our list of fantastic speakers here. There will be more details added, soon so stay tuned.
Our events are participatory, experiential and engaging.
And they are sometimes challenging, too. This is not an event for sitting down and listening. There will be a variety of creative sessions, including art and music, inspiring talks, participatory workshops, open spaces, peer learning sessions, local site visits, performances and exhibitions!
