WHAT IS DUEL?
One topic. Two practitioners. No safe answers.
Most conferences put experts on stage to confirm what the audience already believes. The Nivan Duel does the opposite. We put two practitioners on stage to challenge each other, in the open, on the questions there is no clean answer to yet.
No keynote theater. No safe answers. Just two people willing to be wrong in public, and a room sharp enough to keep them honest.
Duel 01
Abundancevs Attention
If AI can create everything, what becomes truly valuable?
Duel 02
Automation vs Agency
What should humans never delegate?
An intimate room, a real argument, and a winner the room decides.
Live, head to head
Each duel is a real exchange between two practitioners taking genuinely opposing positions, not a panel that quietly agrees.
The room picks a winner
You are not a spectator. The Nivan community weighs in, pushes back, and votes on who made the stronger argument.
Built for builders
Made for the people shipping AI, design, and product work, the ones who live with these tradeoffs every day.
Stay for the table
The conversation does not end on stage. Over dinner, the room keeps debating long after the last duel is called.
Pick a side. Then come change your mind.
Seats are limited and the room is built to stay intimate.
Step Into the Duel
Nivan Duel is where bold thinkers go head to head over the ideas shaping Tech, AI, UX, and Design. We are looking for speakers who can hold a position, challenge a room, and make a great argument over dinner. If you have a point of view worth defending, this is your stage.
