Hybrid - Next Gen Lightning Talks: The Risks That Pay Off

What could you learn from a leader if they only had five minutes to share the career lessons that mattered most?

Join WICT UK & Ireland Next Gen for Lightning Talks: The Risks That Pay Off, hosted at Liberty Global and available to attend in person or virtually.

Speakers will have just five minutes each to share a real story from their career, from bold decisions and unexpected setbacks to the risks, changes and lessons that helped shape where they are today.

Expect honest perspectives from across technology, finance and talent, with practical ideas you can take back to your own career.

What you’ll take away

  • Honest stories about career moves that paid off, and those that didn’t

  • Practical perspectives on ambition, AI, personal brand and navigating change

  • Advice you can put into practice the very next morning

  • The flexibility to join us in person in London or virtually

  • For those joining us in person, the opportunity to connect with speakers and peers over food and drinks
