Brain&Breakfast 

People with a strong personality, inspirational stories and different fields

Every month, we invite one interesting guest to our Prague Impact Hub. Our guests are experts with impressive results who achieved something in their field and whose story and experience inspires others.

In this way, you can learn about and look into various fields, even fields you might never have come across if it weren’t for this experience.

Breakfasts open new horizons

The idea of Brain&Breakfast was conceived at the end of 2012. Started by the then 3M innovation leader Jan Mašek, the breakfasts were initially designed to inspire mostly colleagues inside the company, but gradually, the meetings opened up to the public and evolved into an independent project under the Red Button network.

Brain&Breakfast is designed to guide participants towards new horizons, draw them into stories, present experiences of successful people from different fields, pass on positive energy and offer a quality place for developing knowledge.

BRAIN&BREAKFAST PRACTICAL INFORMATION

  • Breakfasts take place once a month, usually on the third Thursday of the month.
  • First, our guest gives a 60-minute presentation of their topic and story.
  • The presentation is followed by a 30-minute discussion. You can participate either in person or online via live streaming.
  • If you attend a breakfast in person, you can talk to our guest after the streaming, as well and get more inspiration than online viewers.
“We believe that development comes from diversity and B&B is a tool that helps us connect and explore new worlds.”
Jan Mašek, Founder of Red Button

We don’t limit ourselves to the Impact Hub – the entire presentation, including the follow-up discussion, is recorded and broadcast to an increasing number of small and large companies, schools, libraries etc. The breakfasts have an unprecedented scope with approximately 200 broadcasting points and new points being added continually.
