New This Year: 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.
