Thursday, November 4th, 10:00 am – Midnight @ The ‘Quin

14 hours of serendipitous hyper-immersion into a verbal, audio and visual experience across your senses. Spanning serious to whimsical, exhilarating to contemplative. It’s ideas and insights and pure mental stimulation that will challenge and engage you for months after the sessions.  Program packed with Ideas, Projects and Interactions, each divided into two two-hour Power Bursts of stimulation. You can dive in, come up for air and dive back in again, moving across themes as you will. Noteworthy thinkers, doers and makers who will share their thinking in short bursts, surrounded by audio and visual sensory immersion, including dynamic 3D projection mapping on venue walls. You’ll be able to interact with Speakers before and after their talks.
