At ThoughtWorks we believe that interacting with the world around us keeps us in step with new technology and changing times. The Banyan Tree series are candid talks by inspiring people doing groundbreaking work and contributing towards making a better world.

ThoughtWorks invites luminaries from other fields (especially other areas of Technology) to come and share their experiences with us. This monthly series presents an opportunity to learn from the experiences of individuals who have done things differently both in the IT and non-IT sectors. The Banyan Tree Series talks are free events and open to everyone.
