Oracle NetSuite - Women Ignite 2.0!

For the past 2+ years, the Oracle NetSuite Waterloo office has held a seasonal internal event called Ignite! Employees have the chance to speak about topics they are passionate about--but for only five minutes. These fast-paced talks are a chance for employees to learn about each other, cheer for each other, and, of course, practice public speaking in a positive environment. In the past year, topics have included Transformational Leadership, Startup Failure, How to Invest in Real Estate, Choosing a Dog Breed, and many more. This event has become a part of the culture at the Oracle NetSuite office, so much so that Oracle NetSuite would love to share it again with the Girl Geek community. We invite you to a special Ignite event called Women Ignite! 2.0, during which women from Oracle NetSuite will enlighten you in five-minute talks covering a wide range of topics.
