High Impact Events
Agile Rabbit was born out of a shared curiosity about the world and a desire to share new perspectives
Through high impact events, we make complex ideas come alive through collaboration, curiosity, and creativity. Through interesting formats, our events range from festival stages to pop-up shops, creating engaging experiences for all.
Previous speakers include Noam Chomsky, David Miliband, Lyse Doucet, George Monbiot, John Crace, Sir John Curtice, Sir Roger Penrose, Frances Tophill and Maggie Aderin-Pocock.
We have delivered live events for The British Science Festival, Standon Calling Music Festival, The University of Exeter’s Institute of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, Futures: A Festival of Discovery for the South West, and The Royal Geographic Society.
Since 2018, we have been running our monthly informal events series at Exeter Phoenix. From climate change to feminism, dinosaurs to the internet, we have welcomed over 500 speakers to chat about what intrigues and inspires them.
Panel Discussions
Can we trust science? And what is there to learn about water and climate change? We like to ask questions, and invite leading researchers and experts to explore the answers. Whether audience members are new to a topic or already know something about it, they’ll discover new facts – or perhaps see things differently – when they attend one of our hosted panel discussions.
Chairs
A really good discussion starts with a skilled chairperson or facilitator. We’re delighted to regularly work with BBC producers, presenters, and interview leaders such as Ritula Shah, James Coomarasamy, and Lyse Doucet, who chair our live events and facilitate engaging discussions between speakers and members of our audience.
Solo Speakers
From going on a whistle stop tour of feminism, to the makings of psychopaths, life on mars, beavers, and a conversation with Noam Chomsky, our speakers don’t shy away from sharing their knowledge on broad subject matters, or answering difficult questions.
Walkie Talkies
We all learn in different ways, and some of us enjoy the outside more than walled-in spaces. When chatting about the fascinating world of fungi, the impact of pollution on local biodiversity, or how we relate to our natural environment, we like to take our audiences on a gentle stroll. This gives everyone the opportunity to ask questions and chat to researchers and each other in a relaxed setting.
Pop-up Events
The popular format lends itself to celebrating fascinating research and discoveries! We bring together scientists, artists, and musicians to curate immersive, interactive, and lively experiences that communicate ideas in fun and quirky ways.
