Ideas, conversation and connection start with Dr. Niraj Lal. Surrounded by all things digital, there's something uniquely refreshing about conversations that help us connect and reimagine life beyond our online existence. Over an all-inclusive meal, join us for an intimate evening featuring Dr. Niraj (Nij) Lal, author of Behind the Screens, in conversation with investigative journalist Dr. Caroline Graham. With warmth and curiosity, Nij explores how science, imagination and storytelling can help us better understand the world and our place within it, revealing ideas that resonate far beyond the laboratory and classroom. With a background spanning physics, writing and storytelling, Nij is a rare and compelling voice, reframing complex ideas – and the worlds we scroll through every day – into an accessible form that invites shared thinking and curiosity. One thing from The Craig Bassingthwaighte Long Table, by Nij, is certain: you'll leave with new knowledge of the digital world and our role within its unfolding story. If you don't want to miss out on hearing from these wonderful storytellers, get in quick and grab your tickets! 🏃🏽♀️➡️🏃🏻➡️
