The idea behind Interesting is simple: an evening of 20 different people each talking about something they love/hate/do/did/know/care about/obsess over.
We want to replicate the experience of clicking from one really good blog to another, ranging haphazardly across culture, sciences, arts, crafts, technology, jokes or whatever. The only requirement is that each presentation be 3 minutes long.
Past Interestings have been held in London, Sydney, NYC & Amsterdam and speeches have included:
- How to Split a Log with an Axe
- What is this thing called Happiness?: summary of all the latest studies
- Secrets of the Mosier Post Office
- Wichita Lineman played on a Saw
- It’s NotRocket Surgery: Ideas on sustainabilty without the weasel words
- Moose dancing: Combine -30C in the wilds of Alaska, two hearty huskies, a one-way ski trail and a lonely she-moose
- What is Green?: Teaching science to blind kids
We’re currently looking for speakers so if you know someone or are up for it yourself, click on the call for speakers page for all the details.
We’ll announce the final line up on September 8th but if you’re brave, you can already buy tickets at interestinggorge.eventbrite.com Or if you’re the kind that likes to wait and see, likes to know exactly what your penny will buy, you can always check back here or get updated via our Facebook group.
