How to Remain Relevant With the Rise of Technology
By: Georgina Terry
Georgina Terry wears many hats. She is a qualified accountant, certified business and career coach, Change Management consultant, local and international inspirational speaker, facilitator, trainer, accredited InfoDev (Division of the World Bank) facilitator, Trinidad & Tobago Ambassador for the Global Movement – Women’s Entrepreneurship Day and author of the best-selling book ‘The Amazing Race to Entrepreneurial Freedom’. Although having many multidisciplinary skills, she began to recognise within other spaces how technology has begun to impact the skilled workforce and question if she would be next. In her talk she explores how Artificial Intelligence will impact our ability to earn. How then do we contribute to society to remain relevant?

Toxic Masculinity
By: Amilcar Sanatan
In this talk, Amilcar Sanatan presents ideas for addressing crime prevention by outlining an alternative approach to thinking about masculinity. For Amilcar, masculinity is a weapon. He argues that when we ask young men to put down their guns we are asking them to put down their masculinity. In his talk, he argues that we raise our boys and young men on narrow ideals of manhood. These narrow ideals help to fuel what he refers to as toxic masculinity. He is careful to point out that what he presents is just one perspective. Consequently, he argues that gender must be part of our approach to addressing gun violence. For Amilcar, we need to redefine masculinity, violence, and belonging.
