Thanks @Michelle Fifis ! Overall there was a definite increase in appetite from previous years for impact initiatives, and the fact that a Philanthropist had a keynote at a startup conference was pretty amazing.
We had a lot of people come up to chat to Steve after the event, so it was wonderful to see the interest in general.
Outside of Philanthropy, there was a lot of comments about the potential for investors in the SE Asia market which was great to hear across the day

How inspiring, @Kali N! @Hannah_Bottos, @melanie-vtx and @Mmilo, were you able to make it to the conference? I'd love to hear your thoughts on the event if you did attend!
