Brain&Breakfast

The idea for Brain&Breakfast mornings originated at 3M at the end of 2012. It was initiated by Jan Mašek, who worked there as an innovation leader. The breakfasts, which were originally intended to inspire primarily 3M colleagues, gradually opened up to the public and later grew into an independent project under the Red Button network.

Today, Brain&Breakfast takes place at the Impact Hub in Prague. From there, it is also recorded and live streamed to dozens of locations across the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Both small and large companies, coworking spaces, and community centers participate. We also stream to schools and libraries. How to set up a streaming location at your place can be found below on this page.
