Ignite TalksIgnite Talks

Invest in All of Us, so we can end….

 

Ignite Talks are a unique way to inspire and share stories to make change. It is 20 slides, auto moved for 15 seconds – Why? To get to the point fast. To use images to tell the rambling – and to wow/shock the audience. The success the last three years has carried the momentum forward. And this year will be no different. Sticking with theme – Invest In All of Us, this year we are building off that statement to add "So we can end…."

 

So what will you expect to hear? Stories of unconscious bias, pushing boundaries, fast fashion and gender gaps in key sectors. Why do we do the things we do? Are we aware of the damages caused? More importantly can we change and understand the little things can alter the future for better. These women will knock you off your feet and get you ready for action. They are investing in you, are you ready?
