About the Mini-Festival
The Leadership Campfires is a two-day online global festival bringing together people to explore experiences and ideas for practicing leadership as collaborative agency. The festival took place for the first time on 1-2 September 2021. It featured a variety of self-hosted 80-minute campfires scheduled throughout the two days and offered across varying time zones. It enabled participants from all over the world to meet and inquire about hosted topics revolving around Collective Leadership and Leadership-As-Practice.
All Leadership Campfire events were online, free and open to participants from all backgrounds or localities. All events focussed on participation with participants and feature engaging and conversational content.
