19:00 | Doors Open: Time for food, drinks, and open-air networking with fellow members.
19:30 | BALACAST Live: A live culture and current affairs podcast, this time hosted by David Pacifici—another great chance to see live broadcasting, audience engagement, and hosting style in action.
20:30 | Talk: "Shylock e la bellezza sospetta dell’amore" (Shylock and the Suspicious Beauty of Love): A compelling presentation by Rocco Coronato exploring how love can be built upon a foundation of aversion and hatred. For public speaking enthusiasts, this is a prime example of analyzing classical literary themes (Shakespeare's Shylock) and translating complex emotional and social concepts into an engaging public narrative.
21:30 | Concert: LUCIDARIUM ENSEMBLE: We switch from the power of words to the power of music with their project "I suoni della Venezia di Shylock" (The Sounds of Shylock's Venice), featuring a stellar performance by Carla Nahadi Babelegoto, Enrico Fink, Avery Gosfield, Irene Klein, Fabio Accurso, and Massimiliano Dragoni.
