About this Event
Sometimes the biggest career lessons come from the decisions that felt like a risk at the time.
WICT UK & Ireland Next Gen invites you to Lightning Talks: The Risks That Pay Off, hosted at Liberty Global.
We'll hear from speakers across technology, finance and talent. Each gets just five minutes to share one story, one perspective and the lessons they wish they had known earlier.
No lengthy presentations. Just honest experiences and useful ideas about the decisions that shape a career.
What to expect
⚡ Five minutes each: Fast-paced stories designed to get straight to the lesson.
💡 Career advice you can use: Hear perspectives on ambition, AI, personal brand, navigating change and making bold career decisions.
💬 The honest version: Not every risk pays off. Hear about the setbacks as well as the successes, and what our speakers learnt from both.
🤝 Time to connect: Stay afterwards for a networking session with food and drinks, and the opportunity to continue the conversation with fellow attendees and speakers.
Who should attend?
This event is designed for emerging and early-career professionals who want to learn from other people's experiences, build their networks and think differently about their next career move.
Come with questions. Leave with new connections and at least one idea you can put to work the following morning.
