What 60 Presentations in Amsterdam Taught Me About Being Heard (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Namrta here — thanks for being here! I write about how culture shapes the way we communicate, connect and belong, drawing on two decades of working with people across 50+ countries and moderating 100+ panels, and a lifelong curiosity about how people live.Earlier this year, I spent four days in Amsterdam sitting through close to 60 presentations.I realise that doesn’t sound particularly glamorous.But I organise and moderate international conferences for a living, and after more than 20 years of
