BPG LABS · A FACILITATED DIALOGUE SERIES
Multi-Stakeholder Drinking
Online conversations on the hard questions of collective innovation—followed by a face-to-face gathering in Brussels to take the dialogue further.
WHY THIS · WHY NOW
A place to examine the gap between collaboration’s promise and its practice.
The most consequential challenges cross organizational and sector boundaries. Yet the people involved rarely get enough space to speak honestly about what helps—and what gets in the way.
Multi-Stakeholder Drinking is an informal but purposeful series for practitioners, funders, public leaders, researchers, conveners, and builders. Each online session focuses on one live question. The Brussels gathering brings those threads together in person.
Despite the name, drinking is entirely optional. Curiosity, generosity, and candour are the only things to bring.

PROGRAMME
A sequence of connected conversations.

ONLINE DIALOGUE
Beyond Funding: Creating demand, evidence and market pull for European health innovation
Developed with Resonance Health Europe, this opening conversation asks how promising health innovation can move from publicly supported research to scalable adoption by aligning the actors who define, validate, purchase, implement, finance, and experience value.

ONLINE DIALOGUE
Next dialogue: topic in development
The second topic will build on the questions, tensions, and missing perspectives surfaced in the opening conversation. Registered participants will be invited to help shape the focus.

IN PERSON · BRUSSELS
Multi-Stakeholder Drinking: the Brussels gathering
A face-to-face working conversation that carries the questions and tensions from the online dialogues into deeper exchange, new connections, and possible next moves.
HOSTED & FACILITATED BY BRIAN GOODMAN
A conversation, not a conference.
There are no predetermined answers and no expectation of consensus. Brian will frame each topic, create space for different perspectives, and connect the learning across sessions. The aim is a conversation honest enough to reveal what collective innovation could become—and practical enough to suggest a next move.
