Key Note - John Armitage
Slow Down to Speed Up: A smarter way to thrive
In the rush to do more, many businesses unintentionally erode the very capacity that allows them to succeed: calmness, clarity and connection. Slowing down isn't about being less productive, it's about creating the conditions for better decisions, more resilient teams, and sustained performance.
Key Note - Chang Ge

This keynote explores what “doing more with less” means when local enterprises engage in competition to thrive in fast-changing markets.
