HAJJ TALKTHE OPEN STAGE · INNOVATION ZONE

Twenty Minutes, One Idea

An open stage on the exhibition floor where experts from government, the private sector and non-profits take turns making a single point properly, no panel, no moderator, no slides they have not earned.

It is the part of the programme where you hear what is actually being built right now, rather than what was finished last year.

THE FORMATWHY IT WORKS

A Stage With No Green Room

One speaker, one idea

No panels and no moderator. A single person has the stage for twenty minutes to make one argument properly.

01
In the Innovation Zone

The stage sits on the exhibition floor rather than behind closed doors, so the audience is whoever is passing.

02
Work in progress welcome

Talks are about what is being built now, pilots, failures and half-finished systems, not finished case studies.

03
Three sectors, one stage

Government, private and non-profit speakers are programmed side by side and hear each other out.

04
THE THEMESWHAT GETS TALKED ABOUT

Four Themes, One Stage

Across three days the talks cluster into four subjects. They are not tracks and nothing is fenced off, a logistics talk and a data-protection talk can follow each other on the same afternoon.
