What is the Genius Hour?

The “Genius Hour” works similar to an Apple Genius Bar except it will be in speed dating style, facilitated and timed.

Each genius (a.k.a. expert) will be given an dedicated area to showcase their expert knowledge in the specific area. Audience will travel in small group to visit different geniuses at the allotted time (20 minutes). Genius will prepare a 5 – 10 minutes talk about the specific topic then open up for questions.

The goal of the genius hour is to really allow entrepreneurs to ask their business or technology questions in a small group setting.
