Conferences
I was thrilled to attend the TEDx Victoria event on Saturday, November 21, 2015 at the McPherson Playhouse. As a student at the Peter B. Gustavson School of Business, I quickly became familiar with watching TED talks in class and found these short talks both inspiring and insightful. The speakers are clearly passionate about sharing their ideas and the presentations sparked great conversation topics to follow the event.

Leadercast 2016
Held at the University of Victoria, this conference was interestingly recommended to me as a young, aspiring, business leader of the future. Welcoming the "Architects of Tomorrow", the impressive lineup of leaders included Steve Wozniak, (co-founder of Apple Inc), James Brown (CBS network broadcaster) and Rorke Denver (Navy SEAL). The event was streamed live via simulcast and despite the speakers' lack in physical presence, the event was still highly interactive as I was able to connect with fellow business persons of Victoria (including those from the Investors Group, Cridge Centre and BC Pension Corporation), and even discussed the topics with others around the world via the mobile app.
