From Gilli: “Why I created this Event”
After two decades leading transformations and large teams across Media and Tech, while mentoring entrepreneurs, creatives, and rising professionals behind the scenes, I saw a pattern: so many brilliant, capable people were still waiting for permission to lead, permission to be ambitious and permission to chase big dreams.
I created this event to change that. This kind of experience I’m hosting is what I wish I had when I was navigating identity shifts, battling imposter syndrome, and trying to break into rooms that weren’t designed for me. It’s for the dreamers chasing their next move, the career-switchers stepping into leadership, and the entrepreneurs daring to build something of their own.
On 24th and 25th January, we will land on Who You're Going To Be in 2026, through workshops, panels, keynotes and breakout circles over 2 days, guiding you toward the impact you’re meant to make in 2026. I’m excited to share this weekend with you.
I’ve brought together a powerful mix of leaders, innovators, creators, and transformers - here to help you step into who you’re becoming.
