Speaker: Kate James Talk Title: 25 weird and wonderful reasons why i love Liverpool….in 5 minutes.
After 3 years as Liverpool’s unofficial, ‘what’s on girl’, I’ve learned a few secrets about this city I call home from the people who make it what it is. From the CEO’s to the shop and bar staff, creatives to doctors, footy fans to hotel concierge. Expect revelations about secret time capsules hidden in the Town Hall walls and the truth about the phantom Primark defecator, you’ll hear it all here! @katereillyjames

Speaker:Eleanor Senior Talk Title: The cow STI costing America over $200 million.
The parasite Tritrichomonas foetus isn’t as famous as other disease causing and carrying organisms such as ticks or tapeworms but this doesn’t mean it’s less damaging. It also happens to be what I’m studying for my PhD. I am going to talk about what it actually is, what it does and why it could be affecting your pet cat as well as the worlds cows. @eleanorsnr
Speaker: Rachel Burnham Talk Title: How Sketchnoting can help you learn and work’
This talk will explore what how combining words with simple pictures can be used both in work and to help you be more effective when learning. Sketchnotes create rich notes that are more memorable than traditional notes. They can be used to record notes from meetings and presentations, summarise information, as part of a strategy for revision, to aid reflection and to think things through. You don’t need to be an artist to create them at all! But getting started with Sketchnoting can help to unleash your visual creativity. I will share my personal story of ‘not being an artist’ and how I got comfortable drawing in public. @BurnhamLandD
Speaker:Nina Ali Talk Title: Being You!
Speaker:Irene Frances Campbell Talk Title: Women Like Us.
I aim to establish a self awareness, self love organisation. There is a wealth of information out there, however, the breaking down of barriers between women of all cultures and belief systems is my passion. Media misrepresentation of women serves to misinform, and expand the already difficult barriers that women face in contemporary British society. By focusing on the similarities and learning the vast amount of talent every woman has, can be a truly wonderful gift for generations of all Women in years to come.
Speaker: Michelle Peters Talk Title: Permission to play
Children play anywhere and with anything but adults have a hard time with this, they can be controlling and disrespectful of the children’s inherent drive to play. I want to make an argument in favour of saying yes to children, letting them find fun in everyday places, experiencing playful moments wherever they happen to be and not always refused this right which is enshrined within human rights law -UN convention on the rights of the child. @blueybaloo
Speaker: Mark Feltham Talk Title: We’re not sure of Mark’s talk title yet but we’ll bring you more information on that soon.
