The Eclectic Exchange Convivium
The Eclectic Exchange Convivium: A feast of Conversation.
Description
One block over from every conference you've ever attended.
The Eclectic Exchange Convivium is a full day of real conversation. One room, thinking out loud together — building on each other's ideas, sitting with difficult questions, and leaving with something that was genuinely made in the room.
Convivium comes from the Latin: a living together, a shared feast. The feast is the conversation. You'll spend the day around tables, thinking out loud with other people, building on each other's ideas, and making something in the room together.
"As we make things easier, people are slipping through the cracks. What are we here to do about it?"
