What the titles reveal

Three long-running threads, not a scatter of one-off evenings. AI has been a headline theme since #12 and returns at #14, #15, #20, #22, #23 and #24. Spatial and immersive audio appears at #10, #17 and again at #22, five years apart. Community as a subject in its own right carries #16, #18 and #20. That is the argument to make to a funder.
