The editors of slow journalism magazine Delayed Gratification host an evening which delves into some of the disruptive technologies and innovative designs that are challenging the status quo.

The world is full of cycles that need breaking, problems which are replicated year after year and generation after generation. But maybe things don’t have to be this way.

Breaking the Cycle brings together journalists, scientists and technology experts to discuss solutions to long-term problems both big and small.

The night is curated by the editors of Delayed Gratification, the Slow Journalism magazine. Since 2011, it has set out to mount a challenge to the ever-increasing speed of the digital news cycle, reporting on events long after the dust has settled and providing considered analysis instead of kneejerk reaction.

The publication’s editors pride themselves on finding stories of people, companies and technologies which promise to challenge received wisdom and disrupt negative trends. For this evening they plan to introduce some of the most interesting among them.
