Conference season Toronto! From WiP to WE via TEDx, GWALS, OUF and HDSB
‘Tiz conference season in Toronto! From WiP Women in Payments to WE day; GWALS Global Women’s Leadership Summit to HDSB’s PIC and multiple university and student life fairs. One of the problems with having great organizers create fabulous summits workshops and conferences is there is so much wonderful content to digest.
“I learned something new that I want to share with you!”
If you have attended the conference, you have little time to absorb the material – and making time to watch or read reviews of key breakout sessions after the event can be even challenging.
And often we hear of ideas, products or plans that might be just the answer to a topic, problem or challenge that a contact of ours was talking about.
Hence …
The Plan
You know my interests and my passions – FinTech, Future of Work and Creating Inspiration.
All the reviews in subsequent posts will cover ideas around these themes. Full disclosure – I have a teen child that is selecting courses and colleges as we speak, making some of these conversations very relevant and real.
I want to take you from overload to food-for-thought.
Some posts will extend conversations – on blockchain, or scholarships or leadership or future of work.
I will post links to the conferences, summits, fairs and workshops that I have attended. If you see a topic or workshop that you would like to hear more about please comment back and I will try and create a targeted Executive Summary.
If you have your own take-away from a particular session that you would like to share-forward with this community, please email it to me, and I will post it (with credit or anonymously as you prefer).
That is the plan! Now let us see if it works in practice!
