Cerebrate is an initiative to get the best thinkers and achievers from different fields together for four days of brainstorming and bonding. It’s a hybrid between an invite-only event and an unconference. Self-organized, Unstructured, Fun, yet Intellectual. Its TED meets FooCamp. We had a great experience in our past events and hope this year events are wonderful too.
