Inspiration Stations consist of a group of people who wish to work together to learn more about a specific topic or area of interest in an informal and intimate setting. It is based on a structured dialogue that will enable participants an opportunity for in-depth conversations and to share perspectives about specific area(s) of interest or specific ideas. Each Inspiration Station will be chaired by a designated person and offer explorations aligned with the BOOST Conference core values:
