VANGLabs: INAUGURAL PUBLIC SPEAKING MASTER CLASS BY JUAN CARLOS MONTERREY GOMEZ
We are losing the climate fight. And we have never had more facts on our side.
We don’t have a science problem. We have a story problem.
Join Juan Carlos Monterrey Gómez, CEO of VANGLabs, TIME100 Climate Leader and former Vice President of COP30, for a live master class on the one skill every changemaker needs: commanding a room.
At 23, he was the youngest lead negotiator of the Paris Agreement. At 29, he led the youngest delegation in the history of UN climate summits. At 32, he became Panama’s first Climate Envoy & Vice President of COP30.
None of those doors opened because of a title. They opened because he learned to speak so people listen.
Lincoln had the words. King had the dream. We have the data. Now we need the messengers.
What you’ll walk away with 10 battle-tested tools from history’s greatest speakers:
✦ How to open
✦ How to move hearts
✦ How to close
This is a launch. The master class is the official launch of VANG Labs, a strategy, international affairs and creative direction studio tackling the world’s most pressing challenges.
One ticket, two doors. Your master class registration also gets you into the NEXT STEP Party, starting at 7:30 p.m.
