This house believes that technology-based informal learning is more style than substance.
The debate will be followed by a unique informal learning experience, which is sure to amuse and surprise. Led by a previous member of MIT Media Lab and current TED fellow, it has been described in just one word by the founder of Amazon.com, Jeff Bezos: "Wow!"

To round off the evening, a drinks reception will offer an unparalleled opportunity to network with those who share your interest in learning technologies.
