The question is the program
Instead of “a lecture on philosophy of mind,” an event may ask: Are you your brain? Can a machine become conscious? Does death end the self?
A philosopher, AI researcher, neuroscientist, religious scholar, psychologist, ethicist, or author may illuminate a different part of the same problem. The purpose is intellectual comparison, not theatrical conflict.
Public by design
Clear framing invites people beyond a specialist field while preserving the complexity of the question. Confirmed events will identify contributors, format, sources where appropriate, access details, and the limits of what the program claims.
