Past Events
Since its founding in 2022, CUETS has hosted distinguished academics, industry experts, and visionary change-makers. Guest lectures are usually in the format of a 45-minute presentation followed by a 15-minute audience Q&A, often ending with a networking session at a local pub. Panel events usually involve three experts on a subject, with moderated discussion followed by audience Q&A. Our events are intended to improve understanding and promote healthy debate. Open to everyone.
