Lisa Zarzeczny, Elevate

Elevate CEO Lisa Zarzeczny talks about the upcoming Elevate Festival, curating their 200+ speakers/thought leaders, Michelle Obama’s in-person presence [and her ‘driving directly onto the stage’ security requirements], recommending that Al Gore use the UP Express as a transit alternative, the surreal experience of grooving to The Fugees ‘Killing Me Softly’ in front of Wyclef Jean, the ‘super-smartness’ of Eric Schmidt and Sam Altman, the possibility of leveraging her relationship with Martha Stewart to entice Snoop Dogg, how Collision and Elevate are different & diverging conferences, commiserating with Venus Williams about Toronto’s traffic gridlock, and why the sheer volume of content means you MUST PLAN before attending Elevate 2024...’Don’t Just Show Up!’
