What do you get when you put a chef, CEOs, architects, entrepreneurs, photographers, an Everest guide, a philosopher, scientists and a lightening sculptor in a room along with thirty other interesting people in a bar?Β A damn good night of fascinating conversation.
That’s the recipe for BASE – an event I hosted last week. It’s an acronym for business, arts, science and exploration.Β As you can see from the list I covered off all those areas and only invited people that had done interesting things. The result was brilliant.
People made unexpected connections, ideas flew and conversations were animated. Perfect conditions for sparking innovation. Artists talked to CEOs, musicians chatted to explorers, and scientists waxed lyrical with architects.
The mood of the evening was summed up by Doug Wingfield who has his head painted to reveal exactly what was on his mind. In case you’re wondering about the word in blue next to the loveheart, according to Doug “REEB” is a “beer going down.”
