Grow our Community
We honor our audience as much as our speakers. Please spread the word and invite friends and colleagues. Our mission is to create an inclusive, interesting community made up of people from all walks of life.
 
Get Involved
We have already started working with our amazing speakers (check them out here) and are looking for volunteers to help coach them as they prepare for the "talk of their life". We are hosting practice sessions every Tuesday in September and October, and on Wednesdays starting in October.  If you are interested in speaker coaching, please sign up on our volunteer page .
 
Finally, we need a lot of help to get ready for this conference - if you would like to be in the inner circle, actively designing and producing this amazing conference, please sign up here.  We will get in touch with you to figure out the best way for you to get involved!
 
Looking forward to seeing you all in November!
