This past weekend was a blast

The last weekend of September 2024 is one that I will remember for a long time to come. It was the Athens Nomad Festival weekend happening in Athens Greece. I was the event MC. Facilitating events is something that I’ve done for some years but this was one of it’s kind. Although I’ve gone as far as Sweden just to MC a concert, which was quite a great experience in itself, this one made a very significant impact in my speaking journey. It was a three full days event and I was given the sole responsibility to run it all through. I could not imagine that. It was an international event with speakers and attendees from all over the globe. I counted more than ten nationalities. In the video above, I got to pitch my idea at the pitching session and it was well received. So much happened in the event, got connected with some wonderful people and great ideas were shared. This was quite a good one. Have you had such an impactful thing this year. Please share with us. If you’ve not had, I pray that you do. Keep speaking.
