What is Knowledge Cafe?

Knowledge Cafe is a great social learning and networking event. It is a means of bringing a group of people together to have an open and creative conversation on a topic of mutual interest to surface their collective knowledge, to share ideas and insights and to gain a deeper understanding of subjects and issues involved. This ultimately leads to action in the form of better decision making and innovation and thus tangible business outcomes. Participants engage with the theme of the evening and some insightful, energetic conversations take place. Even Better, you can take back the Knowledge Cafe process with you and use it in your own organizations in order to help create a more collaborative and innovative culture.
