The Geneva Conversation begins with the story everyone is arguing about and asks what the argument is really over. Michael Frugtniet presses guests on the claims shaping public life, from cultural identity and equality before the law to political power and technological change. Guests get time to build their case. Michael gets to test how much weight it can carry.

One live tension drives each episode, with informed pushback, dry wit and the follow-up a polished answer hoped to avoid. In the signature round, guests must make the strongest argument against their own position. Building on his work moderating the HORIZON Dialogue Series, Michael brings this sharper current-affairs format to The Signal Room at TAOC Global. The strongest opinion in the room still has to answer the next question.
