INstant Symposium

Soapboxes at the ready!

Everyone is an expert in something. This session is your chance to prove it! Each participant gets 2 minutes to speak on any topic they want; be it a hobby, an obscure interest, or some valuable life advice. Prizes will be awarded for the most interesting, funniest, and most original talk, plus of course a special prize for the speaker who ran for closest to 2 minutes without going over.

A gentle and accessible icebreaker, which gives everyone the chance to open up about a subject close to their hearts. You’ll come away not only with an array of fascinating tidbits, but a new insight into what makes each of your colleagues tick.

After doing the Hivemind session, all of a sudden I see my colleagues in a different light. I feel a lot more comfortable, and I’m smiling at everyone during the coffee breaks. We feel a lot more like a team, really relaxed and happy, reading physical cues and having more eye contact. At the end of the conference, I heard so many people still talking to each other about the fun games we’d all played. So thank you so much, Hivemind, for a wonderful workshop!
