A vast wealth of knowledge, wisdom and trivia is stored in isolated pockets in the collective consciousness of Cape Town.

For one night only, the UCT Graduate School of Business invites you to interact with an encyclopaedia of fascinating people in a beautiful location. 60 experts from a wide range of fields and backgrounds gather in the depths of the Iziko South African Museum to share revelations with you. Their brief is to respond to the topic “This information could change your life”.

A bell marks the time and you move from table to table engaging in four intimate 20 minute conversations with … a cosmologist, a trends analyst, a sex worker, a nuclear physicist, an ecologist … who knows who you will meet and how your life might be changed.

Only 100 tickets are available for this opulent affair. Dress with flair. Spier wines will be served.

This event is made possible through the generous funding of UCT’s Graduate School of Business.

The venue has been donated by IZIKO.
