"The line-up, under any circumstances would have been intriguing... the event was sold out... there was an electricity in the room..."

"The ability to 'think intelligently' about subjects that tickle, exercise and expand your mind is at last tangible with entertaining talks at 5x15."

The Telegraph

"a brilliant concept of five 15-minute talks delivered by significant voices..."
