What are dynamic talks?
The new and innovative Dynamic talks are short, dynamic and connecting sessions in varying formats with 2 or 3 speakers. After the sessions there are meet-up rooms with each speaker where you can dive deeper in to the subject and ask questions, discuss together with the speaker and peers and network.
We can describe Dynamic Talks as highly effective live-virtual presentations by pricing leaders, presenting well-formed ideas on how to shape our pricing and revenue roadmap, with a very innovative format & system, in under 20 or 12 minutes, followed by a private meet-up room for Q&A.
Some keywords to describe:
- High impact learning

The dynamic Talks are the place to learn, connect and network with your pricing community.
We are certain you will love it!
