Talks
ALSO sprung from the loins of Salon London, one of the first organisations on the planet that put ideas from authors, academics, and experts together with audiences in stylish evening Salons and was described by GQ as ‘one of the top things to do in the world’. It also means we have over 15 years’ experience of taking ideas and letting them run wild so in 2014, having programmed extensively for all the most creative festivals in the UK (putting the clever content in to Latitude, Wilderness, Standon Calling, Soho House, Festival No 6, Blue Dot and Lost Village) we knew exactly how to curate the UK’s first music and ideas festival.
See ideas run wild through our extensive programming of talks, intimate Q&As, our double talk series, book shop signings, ideas based walks, self guided headphones walk, walks and talks in the wild, panels, weekend papers reviews, casual conversations in bars and ask me anythings, pop up collaborations with writers and artists to explore their work, tastings, in conversations, demos, workshops, masterclasses, exploring nature and time through guided swimming, creative installations and our digital wall featuring film and art.
Ideas at ALSO24. . .
'Heavenly Bodies' was our theme for 2024 and featured the No1 Sunday Times Bestselling psychotherapist Philippa Perry (in her only UK festival appearance of the summer), the chance to glimpse the divine beauty of space with quantum theorist Professor David Tong, how Hip Hop artists rewrote the rules of business with former banker–turned–hip-hop journalist Nels Abbey and rock-star classicist and bestselling writer Natalie Haynes who re-introduced us to the stories of Greek Goddesses the way they were intended, plus so much more. . .
