Fast Company RealTime is rooted in connection. From rousing discussion groups to thrilling presentations (no tired, old slide shows here), RealTime creates a unique hands-on experience for each participant. This is your chance to learn best practices and big ideas from some of the brightest leaders in business.

The Schedule

The Main Events

Our main events are packed with big ideas and inspiration. Get ready to hear from some of the brightest minds in business, like Tom Peters, and walk away with the ideas that will jump-start new ways of working in your organization. Come ready to ask questions and keep the conversation going.

The Sessions

RealTime sessions are living, breathing gatherings of like-minded thinkers exploring new ideas through interactive dialogue, question-and-answer experiences, learning exercises, and problem solving -- with a healthy dose of debate and discussion.

Some sessions will focus on real-life experiences and case studies. Some will teach you specific business tools and techniques. Some will be lively discussions and idea exchanges. Some will combine all of these elements. All sessions are guaranteed to be thought-provoking and inspiring. Each time sessions are offered in the schedule, you have the choice of attending one of the six options. You make the choice.

The Downtime

While we pack as much into each day as possible, RealTime also provides ample time for decompression and downtime. From day trips to social events, RealTime allows participants to set their own pace.
