Calling all creatives! Join us for Thinker Thursday!
Thinker Thursday is a fast-paced, high-energy evening designed to spark curiosity and uncover surprising connections. Inspired by the PechaKucha format, each of our eight selected presenters shares 12 images, speaking on each for just 12 seconds—giving them a total of 144 seconds to explore creativity, curiosity and passion through visuals.
Topics are intentionally unrelated, creating a dynamic mix of perspectives that keeps the audience guessing. Following the presentations, we open the floor for a lively Q&A session, where the audience is invited to connect the dots, pose questions, and join the conversation.
From speakers who illuminate the obscure with sharp insight to a moderator who artfully draws links between divergent ideas, Thinker Thursday thrives on spontaneity, curiosity, and shared discovery.
Come for the unexpected. Stay for the conversation. If you’re eager to learn something new—and you don’t mind if it gets a little weird—Thinker Thursday is your kind of night.
Join us for dinner at the Anderson Ranch Café following this event for $25 per person. View the menu here.
