This would be better described as the 'Top 7 Place to Watch Great Speakers in Action'. I'm sure they are really clever too but you aren't really seeing them 'in action'. By analogy to sports, you are seeing the post game analyses rather than the game. I really would like to see a place where you can see the top minds in action. I guess you could argue chess and poker are somewhat like this but they are too restrictive and slow for my liking. I wonder if anyone does public brainstorming sessions - the only similar things I've seen have degenerated in to deliberate comedy.
