Additional information
Rob Gee gets you talking
Comedian and performer Rob Gee will get you talking, networking and
working together to solve problems in a way which you've never seen
before! In a perfectly safe and unthreatening way (honest!), Rob will
lead you through techniques designed to get you talking to the other
conference delegates. And if you come prepared with a particular
professional challenge, Rob will link you up with colleagues who can
help you. It'll be like our own version of Blind Date, but without
Cilla and no cringe-worthy questions.

The Boardroom
 |
Forget self-righteous anti-smoking lectures, faceless statistics and scare tactics - this show will make you cry, squirm and laugh out loud. Combining dance, drama, comedy and song, The Boardroom was originally developed by Post 16 pupils at Hind Leys Community College, Leicestershire with input from Metro Boulot Dodo and Rob Gee. The performance shows what can happen when young people are charged with the responsibility to deliver a crucial message to other young people.
The show is part of the cr8 Healthier Leicestershire programme, managed by Leicester Comedy Festival in partnership with Leicestershire County Council and Leicestershire Healthy Schools. Funding was provided by Arts Council England East Midlands.

Since then he has worked successfully with a wide variety of businesses and public and non-profit organisations in the UK and Europe (e.g. Pepsico, the Arts Council, Universities and refugee organisations) on conferences, management training programmes, workshops, key meetings and with individuals with one-to-one visual thinking and problem solving.
At the conference Nick will be recording the contributions of the keynote speakers and of the delegates. Delegates are encouraged to participate in the process.
