Watch Keynote Speech on Innovation and Digital Media

The Social Brand:

This is the definitive talk on how to amplify your brand’s message using social media. Known as “The Woman Who Got the Pope on Twitter” (Wired), Claire dives deep to explain why every organization needs a story and how to effectively convey that StoryBranded story on social media with her proprietary model. This talk goes beyond the tactical, as it powerfully touches on inspirational autobiographical content related to her own unique Silicon Valley origins in an African orphanage. Organizations and their leaders will walk away with an understanding of why social media works and how to use it to amplify their brand.

The Power of Digital Innovation:

This talk draws on the research from several of Claire’s books (One Minute Mentoring, Twitter for Good, Design Your Day) to explore the meaning, importance, and impact of digital innovation in business today, highlighting key organizational practices and strategies that some of the most extraordinary business leaders are using. Named by Fast Company as one of the 100 Most Creative People in Business, Claire explores the link between dreaming an innovative reality and creating it. This speech can be tailored to best fit one of three key settings: general corporate, technology (including social media specific), or pro-social.

Can Women Fix Silicon Valley?

As a venture capitalist, Claire is passionate about the clear economic case for investing in women. Using research from her upcoming book on women founders and funders, this talk looks at the importance of rethinking how we think about diversity and inclusion in venture capital, startups, and Silicon Valley, and what we can finally do to fix what is so broken. 

Technology for Good

Known as “A Force for Good” (Forbes), and “One of the Most Generous People in Social Media” (Fast Company), Claire is passionate about the power of technology for positive change. This talk brings both her unusual personal history and her time working in AIDS orphanages together with her professional expertise building Twitter’s nonprofit program to share how technology has the deep power to change our world for the better.
