Big Ideas is a series of events, mostly held in pubs in London Anyone is welcome to turn up

Sessions generally start with a question Someone who has some relevant expertise gives a very brief, informal

talk After that a discussion develops in a free and unstructured manner It's not a lecture, and it's not a debate;

i's a pub argument, but unlike any you've had before

In case you were worried, Big Ideas isn't affiliated with any political, religious or other organisation, and we don't have any particular agenda
