- Learning how to do things better
- Inspirational successes, new approaches or technologies
- Leading change through example, hard-hitting campaigns and strong leadership
Delegates will have opportunities to gain practical know-how and to try out toolkits and resources as well as TED-talk style presentations and workshops for sharing personal and organisational experience of making change happen.
Speakers at the World Congress include:
