You are cordially invited to attend a corporate meeting where questions are ignored, everyone has opinions, and AI is somehow the smartest person in the room

SAN MATEO, Calif.: SurveyMonkey, the world’s most popular platform for surveys and forms, today announced something completely different: it’s hosting the World’s Most Uncurious Meeting.

“You’re probably thinking, ‘I’ve already been in the world’s most uncurious meeting. It was last Thursday,’” said Katie Miserany, chief communications officer and global head of marketing at SurveyMonkey. “That’s fair. But we’re confident we can host a meeting that’s even worse.”

The event is inspired by findings from SurveyMonkey's recent State of Curiosity Report, which uncovered a significant gap between how workers see themselves and how their workplaces operate. While 95% of workers describe themselves as curious, only 30% say their workplace strongly rewards curiosity. Nearly four in 10 workers admit they’ve pretended to understand something rather than ask a question. Meanwhile, more leaders are turning to AI instead of colleagues for answers, reflecting a workplace culture that increasingly prioritizes speed and efficiency over curiosity.

This raised an uncomfortable question: What happens when curiosity disappears entirely?

To find out, on Thursday, June 25, 2026, SurveyMonkey is staging a familiar work nightmare: a 90-minute (because, of course it is 90 minutes) go-to-market brainstorm meeting where no actual brainstorming takes place.

The meeting will be livestreamed on LinkedIn and feature a cast of Los Angeles improv performers portraying familiar workplace characters, including:

• The executive who loves the sound of their own voice
• The colleague who asks AI before asking a teammate
• The office naysayer who insists every idea is “not gonna work”
• The employee who would rather remain confused than risk asking a question and being judged

“Most companies say they value curiosity, but too often we reward speed over exploration and certainty over asking questions,” Miserany said. “Curiosity is the first step toward innovation, improvement, and avoiding costly mistakes. Without it, can a team still work together? Can they make good decisions? Or does everything fall apart? At the World’s Most Uncurious Meeting, we’ll find out. And if it makes us laugh, even better.“

The public is invited to attend the World’s Most Uncurious Meeting and watch the experiment unfold live. Audience members are encouraged to observe, laugh, and quietly reflect on their own painfully familiar workplace experiences.

However, asking thoughtful questions or offering useful ideas is strongly discouraged.
