We create events with depth and flavour
Would you like to organise an unparalleled event around pressing societal issues? Then look no further! We create gatherings for our clients that combine thought-provoking, in-depth content with an unmistakable sense of creativity and enjoyment. Our programme makers craft versatile experiences that inspire participants in multiple ways – from science and art to culinary surprises or unexpected encounters, both raw and refined.
We bring people together around themes such as sustainability, water, energy, democracy, urban development, economy, and technology. By connecting diverse perspectives, we spark fresh ideas and surprising insights that open new pathways forward.
Featured Work
Creating a colourful event in five steps
-
We start with an informal conversation. What is the purpose of the gathering? Who is the target audience? And what should participants take away afterwards?
-
During a brainstorming session or dinner, we bring the content to life. In an informal setting, we translate ambitions into an engaging format that appeals to all the senses.
-
Before the event, we build the right buzz and involvement. With tailored communication, we effectively reach the target audience.
-
Whether it’s a one-off gathering or a series, we ensure flawless execution. From venue and tech to catering, facilitators, experts, and standout formats—we handle the production, so you don’t have to.
-
After the event, we ensure the impact lasts. With a thoughtful communication strategy and a plan for next steps, the message continues to resonate.
Learn to lead conversations and create programmes that resonate
-
We believe in learning by doing. Our training programmes are practical and rooted in today’s societal issues. With small groups, everyone gets personal attention and develops skills they can use immediately.
Our trainers bring years of experience as programme makers and facilitators. They don’t just share knowledge, they provide hands on tools and direct feedback so you can get started with confidence.

Leading a good conversation is an art. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills, DTAM teaches you how to facilitate discussions with confidence and impact.
For beginners, we offer a 1 or 3-part training. You’ll learn how to open a session, guide a conversation, and actively engage participants. Through practical exercises, interview techniques, and feedback, you’ll master the essentials of moderation.
For advanced participants, we dive deeper into the complexities of facilitation in 1 or 3 sessions. How do you handle difficult dynamics, differing opinions, and unexpected turns? You’ll practice with realistic scenarios and receive targeted feedback to strengthen your approach.

A strong programme starts with a clear vision and a compelling narrative. At DTAM, you’ll learn how to create programmes that resonate with your audience and achieve your goals.
For beginners, we offer a one-day introduction. You’ll discover how to structure a programme—from setting objectives and analysing your audience to selecting conversation formats that deepen discussion and crafting a logical, engaging flow.
For advanced participants, we explore collaboration with partners, strengthening storylines, and navigating complex themes. You’ll learn how to effectively involve partners and design programmes that truly connect with your audience, with a focus on interaction, impact, and meeting your objectives.
