Networking Activity for In-PersonQuickfire A highly engaging competitive tablet-based game of strategic thinking and fun! Working in teams, your quest is to complete as many challenges within a given timeframe to maximize points and out-perform other teams to win the game. The mental, creative and physical challenges posed by the tablet come in a variety of forms and difficulty levels – photo, video, single answer, multiple choice, logic puzzles and more! There will be a 5-minute introduction to the activity from the event manager. This includes a brief technical explanation and tips and hints for winning the game. Teams unite for 5 minutes and get hands on with an app icebreaker, they must take a group selfie displaying their team spirit. A 15-minute planning stage is then encouraged. Teams look through the active, mental and creative challenges deciding which ones they want to attempt. Some must be done alone, others in 2s or 3’s, some as a whole team and others require collaboration with other teams. It’s a race to compete as many challenges as possible. As you progress, individual strengths become apparent and team confidence builds. More difficult tasks have greater cost but also greater reward for success. Scores are tracked in real-time as teams deliver answers by photos, videos, single answer etc. Results are instantly calculated, winning teams are announced and prizes are awarded!! Be sure to opt in to this fun and exciting activity by selecting Yes if you're registering for the In-Person conference. As we incur fees based on participation, please select No if you will not be joining us. | Conference Keynote Speakers Day 1 Opening Keynote Address

By carefully weaving personal stories with touching humour, Tina Varughese’s interactive and highly entertaining approach disarms attendees as she breaks down barriers while building bridges. She ignites authenticity, transparency and ultimately inclusion. Most of us will say “I see people for who they are” but do we? Unconscious biases affect and impact decision making both professionally and personally with real impact. Recognizing, managing and mitigating unconscious bias promotes diversity and inclusion. Diversity and inclusion drives innovation, increases productivity, and stimulates creativity while promoting a healthy, happy, engaging workplace culture. Day 2 Closing Keynote
