Join the Intelligent Speech Online conference, and our keynotes, as we discuss this year’s theme: Rebels!
For centuries, in cultures across time and space, rebels were seen as a bad thing: anti-social and dangerous figures who were likely to get people killed. Today Rebels are often held up as ideals: exciting idealists and disruptors who push society forward and chart their own course. How did we get here? What rebels changed things the most? Is rebellion even a good thing, actually? From rebels without a cause to the morality of revolution, join us for Intelligent Speech 2027: Rebels
