Giving would-be delegates another compelling reason to book, the European Outdoor Group (EOG) is pleased to announce that it has secured the Deputy Mayor of Gothenburg, David Lega, to speak at this year’s EOS.
A hugely inspirational figure, Paralympian David Lega was born with AMC,a disability,which meant he was paralysed in both arms and lacked muscles in his legs. Inspired by the 1986 World Championships in Disabled Swimming in Gothenburg, David started his swimming training when he was just 12. During his sporting career David has won numerous gold and silver European Championship and World Championship medals and set two world records at the 1996 Atlanta Paralympics , which earned him the ’Triumph of the Human Spirit’ award.
David is also a renowned speaker who focuses on personal development, positive thinking, entrepreneurship and leadership. Titled:‘Love, Support, Demand and Encouragement – The Four Factors of Success’, David will speak about how we can push our boundaries. His main thesis is that all people can develop and achieve more than they thought possible, according to ones own abilities. Motivation, inspiration and entrepreneurship mixed with humour and happiness in an interactive dialogue with the audience; meaning no-one leaves a David Lega talk unmoved!
The EOG is also pleased to announce Anne Gillespie, Director of Industry Integrity for global non-profit organization Textile Exchange. Anne will present: Digital Technology - Risk Management & Opportunities.
As the world is starting to ask businesses to take responsibility for the products they source, companies need information and a means to take action: visibility into their supply chains, transparency into the impacts, tools to capture data and measure effect and change, and collaboration to link the efforts of the many players together. Technology is playing an increasingly strong role in enabling industry to deliver meaningful change at the scale it is needed. Anne’s session addresses the sustainability challenges we are facing, the solutions being developed, and the role of technology to bring them to scale.
