The conference brings together knowledgeable and inspiring professionals from a wide range of fields, for example, covering one of the key themes of the conference - financial well-being - Linda Scott, Emeritus Professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Oxford University, best known as the author of «The Double X Economy» and founder of «The Power Shift Forum for Women in the World Economy», will be the first to take to the conference stage.
