PinayTalks: Extraordinary Voices
Short, powerful stories about our Global lives
The Filipina Diaspora - the power of telling our professional stories. Global FWN100™ Awardees will share their personal and professional journeys, highlighting how Filipina women are at the forefront of shaping the rapidly evolving tech and AI landscapes. These are the stories of women breaking barriers, driving innovation, and reshaping the digital world with a fierce commitment to inclusion, diversity, and excellence.
The deadline to submit your proposal on this form is BEFORE 10 OCTOBER, 11: 59 pm PDT.
IMPORTANT: You have to be registered for the Filipina Summit in order to be considered as a speaker/presenter.
pinayTalks should address the #FWNSummit theme: shaping pinay futures: honoring our memories, continuing our legacies
NO self-promotion or sales pitch of your organization, product, or service. No fundraising either. Your presentation will be terminated if you do this.
PinayTalks requirements
Presentation length: 8 minutes. Your presentation will be stopped if you go over.
Rehearse and time your talk.
Speak from the heart. Choose an idea or topic that you feel passionate about, showing us the authentic YOU.
Focus on an aspect of your leadership story, not the entire family history. Try not to read your talk but we don't want you to ramble either. So it is important to rehearse your talk.
Effective storytelling has a beginning, a middle, and an end.
Choose your presentation format. You may include song, poetry, spoken word, rap, dance, etc. or plain old PPT slides to make your presentation effective. You may also play an instrument if this will make your presentation more fun or reinforce a key point.
Please note that we plan to videotape your presentation.
