Seminar: Driving Disruption: Local Leaders, Global Impact
Today, enduring and successful iconic brands are built by their ability to be nimble and evolve with the ever-changing demands of the high-speed, image-focused and socially-conscious consumer. From the electric car revolution, anti-fast fashion, and local food movement to beauty, lifestyle and travel, join this dynamic conversation with a panel of true “change makers” – from global brands to potent social entrepreneurs. We'll examine disruption and what it means to evolve the macro strategy of a large company, the internal impact of change, balancing external challenges with strategic evolution and the drive to lead change, staying relevant and future-proof.

Highlight speakers:
• Isabel Fan, Country Director of Tesla Motors Hong Kong
• Annabelle Baker, Director of LUSH Asia Limited
• Nissa Cornish, Executive Director of sustainable fashion NGO Redress
• Chantal Wong, Director of Culture and Workshop Producer of Eaton Workshop
• Janice Leung Hayes, Founder of Tong Chong Street Market and social entrepreneur
