Looking for Sponsors for Knowledge Cafes in 2017 - Comments
To: Members of the Gurteen Knowledge Community in the UK
I am starting to plan some London Knowledge Cafés for 2017 (or other cities if there is sufficient interest) and I am looking for organizations who are willing to sponsor one.
Basically, it means providing a suitable room for the evening (6:00pm to 9:00pm) and some refreshments. I pretty much do the rest.
I return, you can choose the topic and speaker but if you are happy just to provide the room I have more than enough speakers and topics to fuel the sessions.
If you would like to know more about how it all works see here
In particular, I am looking for a sponsor for the evening of Friday 3rd March when Katrina Pugh will be in London for the annual Henley Forum Conference and has kindly agreed to speak at a Café.
I don't normally run Cafés on a Friday but this is the only evening she can make. You can learn more about Katrina here http://bit.ly/2j0Q5wv

It's a while since my last London Knowledge Cafe but now that spring seems to be just around the corner I have a few lined up for the coming year.
The first is by courtesy of Keith Patrick and at the Westminster Business School on Wednesday 26th March. (A big thanks Keith for hosting a KCafe yet again.)
As some of you know, over the winter, I have been doing a lot of work on my Knowledge Cafe concept and further developing it in light of my experience over the last 10 years.
I now have the basis for something much broader that I am calling "Conversational Leadership".
In a nut shell, it is a style of working where people, especially managers, understand the transformative power of conversation and take a conversational approach to the way that they work and interact with people.
What I plan to do on the evening is to share my thinking with you and ask you to think about the subject and what Conversational Leadership means to you.
You will find more details and the registration form here.
I look forward to seeing you again and remember you can bring a friend or two - just remember to ask for them to register on my site.
Best wishes David
