Interesting 2022 - what we know so far

UPDATE: 23 August - I moved some speakers around

It’s still tentative but this is the rough plan for Interesting on 3 September.

A few tickets still available

NOTE WELL: We won’t be providing tea or coffee or anything. It’s Central London, there’ll be places nearby.

11am - I'll need a few volunteers to help put seats out and put bunting up. Please email me if you’re willing to do that.

11:30am - Doors open. Feel free to wander in. I think there’ll be a lot of people aiming to catch up with people they’ve not seen for a few years. This is a good opportunity for that. That’s why I’ve also included some decent time for lunch and a break in the afternoon.

Noon: GO! We’ll start with a little light introducing. I’ll tell you where the toilets and emergency exits are and we’re off.

Then

12:10: Flora Joll “The Night Watch”

12:20: Oliver Feldwick “"Get Off My Lawn: Inside the world of Lawn Bowls"

12:30: Nicki Sprinz & Helen Fuchs “Why we need ravers today”

12:40: Janet Hughes “Soil”

12:50: Nick Hand “The printing bike”

13:00: Lunch

13:45: Anne Shewring “Long grief: things I've learned from my sister dying”

13:55: Abigail Gardner “Chartreuse: Tipple, Colour and Clergy'

14:05: Ramzee “The Happy Accident: How Charles Darwin revolutionised storytelling"

14:15: Charlotte Nathan “Absolute Beginner, 33: Why you too should become a ballet dancer”

14:25: Roshnee Desai “An Indian Girl in London”

14:35: David Lowbridge-Ellis “Licence to Queer”

14:45: Break

15:15: Anab Jain "How confronting my worst fear became a metaphor for our flailing world"

15:25: Bogdana Butner “Train Therapy: How taking the train everywhere has helped me deal with adult life”

15:45: Natasha Ratanshi-Stein “Crispy onions”

16:00: FIN

We go again

Let's do Interesting again. It's been 4 years. It can be like the World Cup.

I've booked the Conway Hall for 3rd of September and I've updated the twitter bio. That's it so far. Baby steps.

But I'm hoping we can find a bunch of people who've never spoken at an event like this before and give them a big, supportive welcome. That's the plan, at least.
