Speaker: Neil Kazimierz Sheridan Talk Title:Who’s That Bird
Speaker: Jonathan (Jab) Butters Talk Title: WTF is an Innovation Ecosystem?
Speaker: Helen Wilkie Talk Title:When Liverpool still made good journalists: the story of 19th century James Brown, a descendant of slavery, who started life as a printer in Liverpool and went on to found the Isle of Man Times and went to prison for campaigning for its democratisation.

Speaker: Tom Williamson Talk Title: Agile sucks!
Speaker: Jon Daley Talk Title: Housing and Health: The Missing Link
Speaker: Dr Martin Graff Talk Title: Preparing for a First Romantic Date
Speaker: Roz Howarth Talk Title: What is imposter syndrome?
Have you heard of imposter syndrome? That little voice inside your head that puts you down, tells you that you can’t do something or tells you that you’re not good enough? This voice of doom has been amplified by the rise of social media, and the amount of time we spend comparing ourselves with others online.
I’ll talk about what imposter syndrome is, who it affects and what you can do to silence your ‘inner critic’.
Speaker: Eamon Magdoubi Talk Title: The most efficient path to find Waldo on a page and how a computer would do it faster
Speaker: Caleb Benton Talk Title: How I Believe Carbon Green Credits Will Transform Our World
Speaker: Danny Bowman Talk Title: The Politics of UK Mental Health Policy
Speaker: Eric John Woodcock Talk Title: The best route to change is a project.
It’s all very well having a great idea, but how to do turn that into a reality in the most effective and efficient way? The answer is to frame the process as a project. A real project has a number of facets, such as understanding stakeholders, challenges and risks, requirements and benefits, keeping the whole thing under control, and of course a really clear idea of what exactly you are trying to achieve. I will talk briefly about this disciplined way of thinking, planning and acting. It applies as much to setting up an awareness campaign, or mounting an art exhibition, as it does to building a new concert hall.
Speaker: Marc McDermott Talk Title: The Hypnotic State
Speaker: Kindah Ali Talk Title: The meaning of a single mum and a phd student
Speaker: Paul Marrow Talk Title: Looking back at the Cold War: links with Liverpool?
Speaker: Cath Holland Talk Title: That patriarchy hates middle-aged women with the heat of a thousand suns.
Speaker: Kate Calderbank Talk Title: “Are you ok?”
How this simple question is so important. What might be a better way to ask it. How to authentically respond – even if that is just in a conversation with yourself. What to do about what is not ok. Why it is hard to see the good stuff. Ponderings on these and other easy life questions!
