Our Program
We have 6+ stages for you simultaniously: plan your own, individual journey at the 12HRS.US Conference:
We have: Keynote Talks, Panels, Pitches, Awards, Show Acts, Demos and Networking for you!
Our formats
12MIN.ME Talks
The classic 12MIN.ME format!
At the 12HRS.US conference you will find your beloved 12MIN.ME talks which are the DNA of what we do at our meetups as well as at the conference.
The 12MIN.ME procedure:- Each speaker has exactly 12 minutes to talk
- The audience gets another max. 6 minutes for Q&A after each talk
- Onother 6 or 12 minutes of short networking between the speakers
Panel Discussions
Let's dive a bit deeper!
Apart from the talks we'll provide several expert panels discussion in which there will be enough time to go to the bottom of things. They will not only discuss the status quo of a paradigm but also reflect its meaning for society and progress in a broader, interdisciplinary context.
The PANEL procedure:- Each panel consists of 4 speakers and 2 moderators
- For each speaker we calculate 12 minutes (x4) = 48 minutes for the panel
- The audience gets another max. 12 minutes for Q&A after each talk
- Another 12 minutes of short networking between the panels
12x12sec Speed Networking
We do break the ice for you in just 144 seconds!
Also, we identified 2 basic categories of guests at our events. One category comes to listen to the talks to get some insights and inspiration and the others prefer to mingle and meet as many new people and old friend as possible. There is quite some common ground between these two groups but we want to provide our guests a special format to meet many new people at our conference. Since in everything we do a "12" is involved, we will have several speed networking events during the conference where interested people can gather easily and are supposed to talk for at least 144 (12x12 seconds) to a stranger. If the participants like each other or feel like talking longer to each other, they just will stay with each other for the time they need of feel like. If one participant doesn't feel like continuing the conversation, she just starts switching partners every 144 seconds again. This way nobody needs to feel bad leaving a conversation because its actually part of the “game”.
