Second, Master Classes, on-stage discussions between experts, will give viewers a better picture of the dialogue surrounding various issues and fields. Topics include space exploration, education, gun policy, and more.

Finally, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?, gives diners a chance to experience both amazing food and exciting ideas in one place, at leading restaurants around the city. Some participating establishments include Ada Street, mk, and Nellcote.
