About this Event
Think & Drink
Guernsey is full of people who know fascinating things: about the sea, the law, the past, the brain, the stars, the state of the world. Most of them never get asked to talk about it outside their day job, and most of us would happily listen if it didn't involve a conference badge.
So Think & Drink puts the two together. Short, engaging talks by people who really know their subject, given somewhere comfortable rather than a lecture hall. No jargon and no homework: the expertise stays up front with the speakers, and the rest of us just bring the curiosity.
