Karina has loved being on a stage and in front of an audience from a very young age. Because of this, public speaking felt natural and part of her personality. Because she also came into contact with it a lot in her professional life, she practiced and learned things that positively influenced and completely changed her way of presenting. In the first keynote, she talks about how the goal beats the fear and how the scope of a speech goes beyond the stage. Discover the power during her story and you will jump to the next available stage!

The second part of the evening will be a workshop, led by Sandra D'Amario. In this workshop she shares tips and techniques on public speaking that will help you feel comfortable in front of an audience and how to speak with confidence. As everyone knows, 'practice makes perfect', which is applied here with a high level of interactivity where you get the chance to take the stage yourself and put the tips and techniques into practice. On the basis of direct feedback, you will become a pro in public speaking and know how to interest the audience! Don't miss this unique opportunity! It is guaranteed to be fun!
