Programme Overview

Programme Overview / Day One - 17 November / Day Two - 18 November

2 days, 500 people, 1 big tent...

Collaborating with a range of delivery partners, and from suggestions received by our website users, we have developed a unique programme to enable participants to share their learning, and develop new ideas for social action, locally and globally.

The programme features a mixture of world class speakers and panel sessions, alongside practical workshops, facilitated ‘open space’ conversations, inspirational films and participatory arts sessions, all designed so that throughout the two days participants can share their learning, network with new people, and develop their ideas.

Create your own agenda

Of course, we have only second guessed what you want to hear. The unique feature of Chain Reaction is that delegates can create their own agenda, organise and advertise their own meetings in the open space area, and drop into any of the sessions that are of interest.

At the event, we will be providing networking facilities to help you find the people you want to speak with, as well as support to help you take your ideas to the next level, and ideas that emerge online on our Ideas Box before the event, and ideas that emerge over the course of the two days, will have the opportunity to be worked up further at the event. Post your ideas to the Ideas Box now, or bring them to the event.
