UrbanBeers

UrbanBeers is an event that brings together people who have inspiring ideas for imagining the future of cities on all aspects of urban life, related to its economics, governance, sustainability and design. It features short talks (mostly Pecha Kuchas) from world-class speakers, followed by discussion opened to the floor. The 'beers' element of our name refers to the free drinks available to all attendees. Something to help aid conversations.
