Guest Speaker: Marshall Dallas
Marshall Dallas joined the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC) at the end of 2014 spearheading a new direction for Scotland’s leading conference venue and hitting record profit, ahead of schedule, in 2016. During this period, Marshall led the EICC into winning a series of UK and international industry awards and generating over £50 million for the local economy. The EICC’s newly developed mission is “to create an environment which inspires ideas that change the world”. The venue is also on target to becoming one of the most sustainable and accessible conference centres on the international scene. In 2018, Marshall was awarded the Institute of Director’s public sector ‘Director of the Year’ Award.
This workshop is open to all existing Salt members and any Christian Business Leader who wants to find out more about how faith and business can unite to tackle poverty.
Attendees will be inspired and supported to think about how they can put values to work by leading change in their own business, provoking a community of change across faith and business networks and resourcing change by supporting entrepreneurs in the global south.
Workshops are free to attend but attendees are encouraged to make a donation towards Christian Aid's work.
Attendees are invited to join us for a meal after the event (at attendees expense)
