5x15 Turns 17: Live at Emmanuel Centre, November 2026

5x15 marks its 17th birthday with five speakers giving fifteen-minute talks at the Emmanuel Centre.

To celebrate 17 years of 5x15, the organisation brings its signature format — five speakers, fifteen minutes each — to the Emmanuel Centre stage for the first time. The line-up includes Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe on justice and freedom, historian Dan Jones on the secrets of castles, Dame Margaret Hodge on life in politics, Gus Casely-Hayford on everyday objects, and Jamie Bartlett on talking to AI. The evening promises tales of freedom and resilience and new perspectives on art, power and technology, running two hours.
