A HALLOWEEN SOCIAL EVENT in CANOPY Workspace 10 (Leicester Start-ups Incubator Space)

Presented by AOT-AI in conjunction with Bar Made

"MEET, THINK, EAT AND DRINK"

Do you believe in ghosts? Are you in tune with the spiritual realm? Or do you think anything supernatural is irrational and unscientific?Co-founder of AOT-AI, the enigmatic 'everyday philosopher' Dr Greg Scorzo will do a thought-provoking (but not too serious) presentation, exploring why reasonable people who believe completely opposite things should focus on trying to understand their adversaries beliefs, values, and needs. Its not always about winning the argument.

Expect ghost stories, fascinating science, genuine dialogue, Halloween food and cocktails

The Problem

Conflict is everywhere - in your team, your organisation, your community and your personal life. It costs money. It impacts staff retention. It creates stress and anxiety. It ends relationships.

You'll Discover

Why most workplace conflicts aren't really about the disagreement - they're about different beliefs and unmet needs.

How the ‘Art of Thinking’ using empathy (understanding why someone believes what they believe), clarity (testing perceptions), and courage (asking the hard questions) could change how you engage with the different sides.

Why stable conflict resolution doesn't require agreement - it requires taking the other person's perspective seriously.

How a simple shift in perspective turns adversaries into collaborators.

Why this matters to business, organisations, communities, and why AI needs to understand this too.

Who Should Attend

Business leaders and startups looking to improve team dynamics and retention. HR and people managers interested in understanding workplace conflict. Creative sector professionals curious about human behaviour and communication. Anyone interested in philosophy or how we bridge divides. Anyone who believes AI should work for humanity, not against it.
