The Existential Thinking Behind Turing Fest with Brian Corcoran

When Savage asked Brian Corcoran, CEO and Co-Founder of Turing Fest — the UK’s largest tech conference — how he described his job to his kids, Brian chuckled and said, “Learning parties. I tell them I host learning parties.” But there’s something to that! On this episode of Talking Too Loud, Brian helps Savage and Sylvie reimagine conferences for 2023. Gone are the days of consecutive keynotes and flat Q&A sessions. Instead, Turing Fest is embracing a more dynamic and interpersonal conference model, where people feel the knowledge acquired is as valuable as the connections they make.
