Playposium Keynote: Pat Kane
We are thrilled to announce our keynote speaker, Pat Kane! Pat (patkane.global) is a writer, musician, consultant and activist. He wrote The Play Ethic in 2004, and now speaks and consults globally on creativity, innovation and the power of play. Pat has also co-founded a national newspaper (Sunday Herald), as well as various civic and political platforms (CommonWeal, Yes Scotland, and recently The Alternative UK). From 2012-20, Pat has been lead curating FutureFest for the innovation foundation Nesta; and in 2020-21, he designed the R&D process for Festival UK*2022. He is still recording and performing (with his brother Greg) in the pop-soul band Hue And Cry.
Come hear Pat describe a more playful world and our ethical obligation to get there!
