InteresThink 3 Audience

Register Here!

We want to build meaningful conversations. We also want to create diversity of thought, perspectives and expertise needed for meaningful conversations. More importantly, we want to attempt to sow seeds of radical collaboration.

As such, we are going on a limited publicity campaign. Priority is given to previous attendees and we publicise only in certain channels.

As much as we wish to invite everyone who signs up with us, we are limited by capacity constrains. So do help us get to know you better by filling up the registration form more earnestly.

Lightning Talks start at 430pm. Causes & Ideas Booths starts at 5pm. Buffet dinner begins at 6pm. You really should come early!

Bring Your Laptops! There will be power plugs and wireless access (Wireless@SG). If you are a blogger, we invite you to blog and link our site back to yours. See our media page.

As the event venue (The Pod) is only accessible via a VIP lift, you should note that getting in and out of the venue is a tricky business. Do help us out in assisting you to guiding you to the venue in the fastest manner possible by arriving early.

Draft
1900 - 2200

Strictly 20 mins for each speaker and interspersed with Q&As and discussions. To be designed further.

Lightning Talks are short, 5 minute talks. Anyone who is present at that moment (between 430pm - 700pm) can talk. As crazy as it may sound, we are dead serious about it.

So how does it work? Simple. You go to the microphone, pick it up, gather your own crowd and talk. Unless you have a crowd, you can talk no longer than 5 minutes. Even if you have a crowd, you can talk no longer than 10 minutes.

What can I talk about? Anything. But, strictly no for-profit selling. Our theme for this conference is Ideas & Causes. The InteresThink Team will be very un-nice to you if you betray our trust.

Do I need to register for this to speak? No. It's supposed to be spontaneous. We do, however, encourage you to indicate within the registration form that you are interested to do a Lightning Talk. That will help us estimate the interest level for this talk.

I seriously don't think that this will work! Well, let us prove you wrong then. Find out more about Lightning Talks on Wikipedia.

We have invited a number of Non Profit Organisations with important Causes and projects to exhibit. We will list them here as they confirm their presence.

If you belong to a formal/informal group and would like your voice to be heard, please send a short email to us telling us about “Your Cause” to team@InteresThink.com.

If you are an individual with an idea that you would like to amplify, we invite you to hold your own space here too. You can bounce your idea off our fabulous crowd at the Lightning Talk. You can also have your own booth. Just drop us an email at team@InteresThink.com.

If you like our event and what we are doing, help us defray our costs by making a donation. All donations will be held in trust by Kelvin Quee. All donations will go towards our expenses. Any excess will go towards funding the next event.

We will provide a box for you to drop your cash contributions. Make all cheques payable to “Quee Yew Hao Kelvin”.

Thank You!

These are the people who will be joining you on 12 December 2008. We update this list as invites are being sent out.
