Speakers

Festival speakers have been carefully selected due to their expertise in the field, their presentation style, and the insights they can share to help attendees make tangible progress with their work. 

The Festival wouldn't be the same without our world-class speaker faculty and we're grateful to all of our speakers for sharing their work. Plus, we're pleased to share that 50% of Festival speakers are women.

The Speaker Pledge

To help ensure you get the most out of the Festival every speaker has committed to the following:

#1

I will create a summary slide of my session so you have something concrete to refer back to.

#2

I will share at least one example of a success/ failure/ or how we approached a specific challenge.

#3

Where possible, I will give at least one actionable next-step you can implement.
