Speakers have a fun (and slightly tricky!) task of presenting a piece of work they’re proud of in just three minutes each. It’s a wonderful way to build your connections around the industry, be paired with an experienced professional to support you on your presentation and most importantly, show the rest of the industry what People Like Us are made of.

About You


ABOUT YOUR WORK

We ask speakers to present a piece of work they’re proud of (in just
three minutes each!). In under 100 words, what would you like to talk
to us about (don’t worry, this isn’t set in stone and can be changed
later). Please note this does not have to be a D+I campaign. Tell us
about your wild PR stunts, banging influencer campaigns, an
investigative journalism piece that had many twists and turns.


MENTORSHIP

We like to pair up each of our speakers with a mentor, someone
experienced in the industry that can support on your presentation
and also as a sounding board going forward. What type of individual
would you find helpful? This can be broad or specific as you like -
we’ll match you up closely to your interest points as we can.
