The series brings together artists, professionals, scholars, and scientists of Czech or Slovak descent to present their work, projects, research, or studies in a six-minute talk in English.

This edition is special! It will feature presenters from the program’s early years, offering a look back at the voices that helped shape the series from the beginning.

Expect a wide range of perspectives, disciplines, and stories—and plenty of inspiration and fun. The evening will conclude with a wine reception, providing an opportunity for informal discussion and networking.
