About the Pearcey Conversation:

The Pearcey Conversation IS a regular online fireside chat style event that is open to the entire community and intended to be a broad-based engagement activity.

Moderated by a member of the Pearcey Foundation, or one of our many award recipients, who is well-informed on the topic of the Conversation. One to three subject matter experts will speak for a few minutes on their perspective. Most of the time is given over to active discussion which includes the audience.
