A Gathering for Curious Minds at Westgate Mall Cinema

Guest Moderator: TED Talk Speaker Tom Osborn

Idea: This event is a forum to spark creative engagement between like-minded people. A place where we can challenge our fundamental beliefs and explore new ways of thinking.

How: We screen two short TED Talk videos by the world’s most inspired thinkers and greatest visionaries from the renowned TED conferences, followed by a casual exploratory discussion.

Time: 10:00am to 12:00pm
Location: Westgate Cinema, Westgate Mall Nairobi, 2nd Floor, up the escalator, meet in the cinema lobby

We’ve got new experiences for you... in addition to screening awe-inspiring TED Talks followed by a discussion, we have:
- Your personal “Inspire / Change" card to give you a daily reminder of the changes you get inspired to make at the event
- The “Curiosity Wall” where you can post your thoughts about the theme of the day as you sip a coffee and mingle with other Curious Minds before the event starts
- A live stream of the discussion to the big screen so people can see who’s talking - it's a trippy experience
- Curious Minds Coffee Table Chat - a 40-minute coffee-table chat with 8 people, moderated by one of our team

We’ll be experimenting with new things at every event… so stay tuned
