    Talk
    Talks are 90-minute electrifying, action-inspiring onstage programs, featuring four to six world class thought leaders who each present ideas on a single theme through either an individual presentation or a one-on-one conversation with a host.

    The entrepreneurial spirit doesn’t stop once a business is up and running. If anything, it’s a critical component to success once a business is off the ground. In this Talk, we’ll explore with founders and business leaders how entrepreneurship isn’t exclusive to the people at the starting line–because it’s not always about building the ship, it’s about steering once it has hit the water.
