Dr. Mark de Rond, a social anthropologist and expert in how people organise themselves in difficult situations. He studies this by living among them under the same conditions. At ToMax he showed footage of his astounding work with the teams of surgeons in Camp Bastion, Afghanistan.

Aernout Van Lynden, a veteran war reporter. At ToMax, he told his incredible stories from following the Mujahideen in their counter-soviet insurgencies during 1980s. He spent the most dreadful eleven hours of his life trapped in a well with the warriors. Perhaps his most powerful moral: never assume anything in journalism.
