A Different Take for Our Fifth 'Nexus Presents'

Join us for the fifth instalment of Nexus Presents, where - by popular demand - we take a look at failure. Our four speakers will help us find out why things go wrong, what happened next, and lessons they learned.

Speakers

Our speakers, Giles, Clodagh, John and Simon will share their raw personal and professional stories of hitting rock bottom. Through candid conversations, gain invaluable insights and actionable strategies to confront failure head-on and rebound with resilience.Don't miss these unique, open and honest conversations.


Format

Each speaker has a 15-minute slot for a lightning talk. We save question time for the end and questions are often answered by multiple of our presenters.


Networking

Bring a colleague and socialise with new and existing contacts, before and after the talks.
