Adaptive Guest Speakers Program
Teach what you know. Stay curious about what you don't.
Professors, executives and practitioners who share their knowledge with Fellows, host sessions for the community, and learn from one another across disciplines and regions.
Operated by Adaptive Foundation.
Contribution
There is more than one way to teach.
Teach a session
Lead one interactive session for a Class of the Adaptive Global Fellowship in an area you know deeply.
Host a session
Run your own working session for the community, in person or online, on a question you want to work through with others.
Mentor a Fellow
Help a Fellow think through a decision, opportunity or project over a few conversations.
Review a project
Give feedback on Fellow projects, final presentations or applied work.
Host a session
Bring a question. We bring the room.
Speakers can also run their own sessions. Advisory board member Cory Kidd hosted AI vs Boards, a series of online working sessions on how boards should think about implementing AI, with members, fellows and advisors joining from several countries.
A host chooses the topic and the format. We handle invitations, the platform and the follow-up.
