Interaction 21 Predux
Details
We'll be hosting our annual predux event where speakers at the forthcoming Interaction 21 conference will rehearse their talks and explore some discussions ahead of the global event. This will give attendees an opportunity of a sneak peak but also help the speakers refine their talks based on attendee feedback.
We currently have two speakers confirmed, with more to be added over the next week.
IT’S TIME TO TAKE CLIMATE CHANGE PERSONALLY - DAVE DUNLOP, ELSELONDON
You can blame your government for not doing enough to tackle the climate crisis. Or you can take a look at how your own small, everyday actions can make a big difference for our planet.
Dave will be delivering his very short talk, and potentially going a little deeper on Else's Sway project, as well as discussing some of themes likely to merge in the roundtable.
