The Theme for our event is a "Bottled Letter" inviting speakers to explore the timeless art of meaningful and intentional expression. Sharing their stories inspired by the notion of a message set adrift in a bottle, this theme encourages us to contemplate the power of our words and ideas when encapsulated in a vessel, waiting to be discovered.

Join us in unraveling the mysteries and magic held within each bottled letter, as we celebrate the profound notion that our ideas, carefully shared, can create ripples of impact far beyond the confines of the moment.
