Fireside Chat with Raph Koster
Fireside chats are designed to allow conversation between luminaries in the field and event attendees. The format is intimate and casual, staged in a soft seating area next to a digital fire with limited space by design to encourage connection, conversation, and interaction. Each year we select only a handful of key leaders in the field for such sessions. No slides, no streaming, just deeper conversations between influencers and attendees.
