“Curious about … HYPE” Event Premiere with Felix Zeltner

“Let’s just host an event,” said Henning, just like that. And then you end up with more guests than chairs, have a fascinating discussion with an exciting guest, and even produce a video podcast format on the spot—because why not?

Last week, our new format “Curious about …” launched, featuring Felix Zeltner & his book premiere “HYPE” (brand eins books). One hour of interview and discussion (with surprisingly many participants joining in).

Felix also shared some practical everyday tips for dealing with hypes. A small teaser:

* Pay attention to the infrastructure(!) behind the technology. That tells you if it can truly be rolled out at scale.
* Is there a viable business model behind it?
* Who is loud—but more importantly, who is quiet? (Who is actually speaking—and why?)

For those who couldn’t join, good news:

1. We had so much fun, we’ll definitely do it again! (If you have ideas for topics & guests, suggest them here!)
(Concept: In “Curious about …,” experts discuss topics that currently move us: tech, culture & society. As an open discussion. And in true Felix style: we welcome the “quieter voices.” Or we just do whatever we feel like. We’ll see 🙂

2. There will be a podcast of the event. Eventually. (A lot going on for people who don’t love reading “eventually” as a timeline 😉 And of course, it should be worth coming live!)
