What is a ThinkIn?
ThinkIns are a chance for everyone to have their say. Catch up on our recent favourites below.
A ThinkIn is not just another panel discussion. It’s a real editorial meeting where your insight and experience can help shape our reporting.
How it works
You can either join us in our London newsroom or online, by booking an in-person or digital ticket.
We’ll invite guests with special expertise, but anyone can speak. Just raise your digital or physical hand.
A ThinkIn is one hour long. At the end, the editor will summarise what we’ve heard.
