Each virtual table will feature a host conversationalist whose experiences will catalyze intriguing and memorable conversations. Guest can learn about their work, their thoughts on the world, their insights into their fields, and the experiences that shaped their lives. How did they get to where they are now? What lessons can they impart? Explore the connections between science and art or learn how fast one needs to run with the bulls in Spain. How does it feel to actually beat Bobby Flay or to meet seven presidents or attend 22 Super Bowls? Do basketball skills help a CEO navigate business decisions? This is an evening to ask questions, exchange ideas, learn, and to interact personally with fascinating and accomplished people. You may be surprised by what you discover.
At registration, guests select their top five conversationalist choices. Virtual table assignments are made on a first come, first serve basis.
