Don’t miss our second year of ignite Talks at WoI. Once again we will bring you 6 remarkable speakers who will push you to think differently. This session is themed - Did You Know - and we will take you on a journey from understanding trade wars, to enlightenment on diversity and personal strength to environmental madness. You will walk away in awe, in shock and inspired —feeling a whole lot smarter and confident to enforce change. These women come from different cultures, different backgrounds, different industries, but they are tied by always pushing boundaries and sharing unconventional thinking.
