The Vent

Support for wherever you are in your journey with AI - and a case for keeping the human at the centre of it.

The Vent is a customisable engagement event, typically run as a single session with a facilitator and members of The Collective. The agenda flexes to the audience, but usually follows a five-part structure: an introduction to Mantle, a grounding in what agency actually means, a fireside conversation on a theme of your choosing, open facilitated Q&A, and a close with resources and next steps.

The aim is simple: support people at every stage of their journey with AI, and make the case for human-first approaches to how it gets used.
