Keynote Speaker: Jaz Ampaw-Farr
Jaz’s life is an extraordinary chronicle of defying the limits of what is possible. You’ll not find an Olympic medal, ultra-endurance event or un-supported climb of Everest on her CV – what you will find is pure unadulterated truth, passion and some seat-of-your-pants observations from one of the most genuine, hardworking and riotous keynote speakers in the business.
Discover how Jaz not only overcame the odds that were stacked against her but used it as her superpower to help others.
Workshops
We have organised a range of workshops for this year’s conference with insights and discussion topics from experts in their field.
