Description

Welcome to the next pop-up event from SPEAK, the public speaking platform for people with ideas and stories. The theme for this pop-up is “Disrupt” where we will be exploring the ideas and stories of 10 unique and diverse individuals in relation to our theme. Brought to you by producers George Andriopoulos, Fred P. Banny and Jason Martin.

“Trust me, you can’t change anything without causing some degree of disruption. It’s impossible, that is exactly what change is. Some people are uncomfortable with the disruption that change causes, but the disruption is necessary if anything is going to change.”

SPEAK: Disrupt is a straight-up theme that deals with the theme of disruption at its very core. To disrupt, or to interrupt the normal course of something, inevitably causes change. These 10 talks will feature creative takes on the theme “disrupt” and the impact of the change that disruption causes.
