Ten years ago, Clare and David Hieatt started the Do Lectures with a simple aim: To gather together the world's Doers - disruptors and change makers, experts and pioneers - to share their stories, and encourage others to go and Do. Since that time, the Do Lectures has grown into a small but mighty institution, a unique gathering around ideas set over four days on their farm in West Wales. It has attracted world-class speakers and inspired countless attendees to follow their passions. Stay Curious is a celebration of the Do Lectures' life-changing magic, full of personal insight and lessons learnt over the last decade - from curating the very best speakers, to styling and producing a beautifully intimate event, and the importance of people, place and passion. A 304-page hardback with full colour and B&W film photography, Stay Curious: How we created a world-class event in a cowshed invites you to experience this special event and shares insight on how to curate and host your own beautiful gatherings.
