The format is fun and fresh: each speaker is allowed just 20 slides. Each slide scrolls on automatically every 20 seconds. The speaker has just 400 seconds to tell the greatest story of their life. And then it’s onto the next one.
It’s fast, furious, terrifying for the speakers and very enjoyable for the audience.
These events always sell out so please get your tickets early! All proceeds go to charity.

Thank you!
Please do another one up north!
Newcastle would be nice, but Edinburgh would do!
I would love to buy it’s really hard to get the calibre of speakers and to get a full house. They are the 2 challenges!
Too far for me to take advantage, and the format looks like a blast! Maybe someone can make this work in the States. This blog post did introduce me to many more amazing people and their stories. Much obliged.
Can you get them videoed again, maybe ask Dylan? You could sell them as a download few a few quid? Many of us stuck in the cold dark North and even outside the country would pay a bit to listen to these top speakers.
It’s on my To Do list!
Yes! Would definitely pay a few quid to watch it on Vimeo. Such a shame about Sean Conway

[…] Night of Adventure features some of the most experienced, eclectic and pioneering adventurers out there, asking them to merely share their best adventure stories with the crowd. And the catch? (There’s always a catch). They have only 20 slides in which to do it. After 20 seconds on screen, the slide will automatically move on, meaning that once they dive into the story, there’s no going back! Moving to this fast-paced beat, the adventurers must captivate their audience in a time quicker than it probably takes most of them to get to their destination. […]
