Topics

The actual topics will be determined by which ones attract the most interest at the event (see methodology).

Choosing your topics

On day one, everyone will have the chance to propose topics. There are multiple time slots for small-group topics, (covering 75% of the event agenda). While time-slots exist, its a fluid process as groups may split if they're too large, or have too much to cover and people can move between groups during the same time-slot.

Facilitators
