[[::villagetalk|VillageTalk]] is a precursor to InteresThink. To know what to expect for InteresThink, you can view the videos [[::villagetalk|here]]. We have decided that the best way of spreading the culture of unreserved learning and innovative collaboration is to continue such gatherings regularly. === The Format === We invite speakers from a variety of expertise, interest and backgrounds to speak on //any// topic they desire. Speakers are required to limit themselves to 20 minutes. It will be followed by a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_Cafe|World Cafe]] session. Our facilities and discussion format aim to enable informal exchange with the objective of bringing forth future collaboration among speakers and audience. As such, our audience is strictly by invitation only. We also take deliberate efforts to diversify our efforts in bringing in an audience from a variety of industry, expertise, background and age group. === Advisers === We seek the support of people who are experienced and take an interest in building meaningful dialogue and collaborations.
