Celebrity Interview
A Celebrity Interview replaces a traditional presentation or speech with a structured, talk-show-style conversation between an interviewer and an expert, leader, or stakeholder (the "celebrity"). Instead of sitting through a one-way monologue, the audience watches an engaging interview, then generates their own questions in small groups, which the interviewer weaves into the conversation.
