Small Talks is back for the first time this year with a new venue and the same great sponsors, same interesting format, same rules for speakers and same focus on ticket sales going to a local charity.
And the first Small Talks of 2022 is a special event as only speakers standing for Whanganui District Council are eligible to speak about something they love – but no politics or self-promotion allowed.
Small Talks asks 10 speakers to talk about anything they are passionate about – with the only rules of no religion, no politics, and no blatant self-promotion.
Each speaker provides 15 images that are automated to 20 seconds each for a grand total of five minutes per talk which makes for a very entertaining and interesting evening. You will always leave a Small Talk richer in knowing something new.
Speakers from events past have shared stories of adventures to Base Camp, on Stewart Island and around New Zealand. We have learned about stupid street signs, tree bathing, flowers, leprechauns, and sloths. We have laughed at puppies and kittens playing and our hearts melted with tales from the various local charities we have supported. Some talks are quirky, some are more thoughtful, one was timed with a drum and all are very interesting.
