Keynote: Matt Scott
Director of Storytelling and Engagement, Project Drawdown
​​​
Own Your Story, Unleash Your Superpower
Too often, we’re made to believe our voices don’t matter — and that’s the quickest way our power is taken from us. In this keynote, Matt Scott, a speaker and storyteller who has interviewed hundreds of underrepresented and underestimated heroes over the last decade, shows how owning your story is the key to unleashing the power you already have. Through real stories of everyday changemakers, Matt highlights how storytelling helps us reclaim agency and spark impact. You’ll leave reminded that your story matters — and it’s your greatest superpower.
