This year at Gracelands HURL invite you to take part in “Wait Til I Tell You…” a one on one learning exchange in which you will swap knowledge with multiple partners. All you need to do in order to participate is to pick a subject on which you have either hard or soft knowledge. You will have three minutes to tell a partner about it…. Your partner will then have three minutes to reciprocate and tell you about their chosen subject. A bell will ring and you will move on to a new partner and repeat this process. On Saturday evening at Gracelands, members of HURL will be demonstrating this procedure at their “Wait Til I Tell You…” booth where you will be able to sign up to take part in the grand exchange which will happen at The Blue Devon in Dromahair from 1pm on Sunday.
