Burning Man is the ultimate expression of radical, creative trust. As 80,000 people from all over the world gather in the Nevada Desert, they join together on a blank canvas to co-create a utopia of art, community, culture and human spirit - leaving no trace that the event ever happened.

In this sprawling temporary city of interactive installations, music, dance and expression, how do you grant creative freedom with the trust that everyone will keep the cultural essence of Burning Man alive?

Rob Blakemore, the regional contact for the UK tells us all in this fascinating conversation! With collaboration, emergence and participation at the heart of this enigmatic event - facilitators, get ready to be inspired.

Notes:

  • The 10 principles of Burning Man that defined its ethos
  • What facilitators can learn about the event’s experience design
  • How Burning Man embraces a culture of participation, radical enablement and experimentation
  • How to foster trust in people while giving them the freedom to exploring new ideas
  • The concept of non-transactional, non-judgemental gifting
