INHSU Prisons: Speed-geeking event https://ashm.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJclcO2spjIuG9Br5nOzHssRkS-AkImGfUVY What is speed-geeking? ‘Speed-Geeking’ is a fun, interactive activity where you will get a snapshot on a range of topics from across the globe. You will be placed into a breakout room with 8-10 other attendees, where you will hear a range of short talks from our ‘geeks’, who are global experts in their field. There will also be some time for a short discussion with your ‘geek’ before they move on to the next breakout room. It’s a similar premise to speed-dating – hence the name!
