Intelligence Squared describes itself as The London Forum for Live debate. It is the brainchild of media entrepreneurs John Gordon and Jeremy O'Grady.
John Gordon founded one of the most important and least known of media information companies - Xtreme Information. Their research, media cuttings and specialised analysis has clients ranging throughout Government, FTSE100, and the Media business itself, throughout advertising, public relations and media service agencies.
Jeremy O'Grady is cofounder of The Week, perhaps the most influential - and certainly the most imitated - subscription and news stand weekly to emerge in a highly competitive market in the UK for a decade. A former research fellow at the London Business School, he spent much of the past decade safeguarding the morality of the nation at the British Board of Film Classification where he was a senior examiner.
The incisive wit of The Week, coupled with the media digest approach of John Gordon's Xtreme Information Group makes their partnership particularly interesting.
Intelligence Squared takes information and analysis as its raw material, and translates this into discussion, conversation, and sexy debate.
