Speakers and Lineup

Our speakers

-heroes

Innovators
Community builders��Even if they couldn’t join us. �Sometimes saying ‘no’ to an engagement you love is the toughest thing to do. For various reasons, there are a handful of speakers and workshop presenters who had to cancel due to the COVID-19 situation. Each one of them did their best to make it happen, but ultimately made the choice to prioritize famiy

We asked a lot of our speakers. And they delivered anyway.
In this uncharted territory, they worked with us to get this program happening. Even if they’d never recorded themselves speaking before, the speakers and workshop presenters alike convened on Slack to help each other figure out how to get a great quality recording. And our team of volunteers worked alongside them to help make it happen. I was inspired.
And amazingly, despite a pandemic, increased workload, additional responsibilities of home schooling while working at home, caring for relatives, barking dogs, screaming kids, and cats that like to sleep on your keyboard, everyone gave us their recording on time. (incidentally, we have a mural where you can show us photos of all said pets).
