Favorite quotes from this talk See all
We want to inspire by example. By that we mean, we always make sure to have a really good gender balance on stage, as well as people of different ethnicities. So, we mean real people, with real jobs, with real stories - so that people who come along and see someone that looks like them, and they can stat to be inspired.
We really relish the idea that creativity can come from all sorts. We have designers. We have architects. But we also have scientists, and we have activists.
[The morning of Brexit], the theme of the month was Broken. So that was pretty special. And the icebreaker tag question chosen by the speaker was: "What needs fixing?" You couldn't make this up.
We did something which I think we're not often allowed to do in life, but I would highly encourage it, we stopped. [...] And this kind of mad thing happened. As soon as we allowed us space to think, suddenly we had all the ideas, we didn't even take those two months off.
