6. 1. Why does knowledge sharing
work on all those events?
• People want to participate
rather than just surviving mass PPT delivery
• People build their agenda themselves
rather than being hit by mostly irrelevant topics
• Give and receive knowledge
rather than passively consuming speeches
• This style of learning is really demanding, exhausting
but adoption is much higher

7. 2. Why do people participate & engage?
I have asked them -
• Learning, keep up-to-date, see a bigger picture
• Build a personal network with other experts
• Test own ideas, Startup drafts, pre-run Master
thesis
• Learn other methods of collaboration and new
event formats
