In education, business elevation will be a prime focus on Sunday with the return of the REALTalk Business Forum, a returning event highlight from 2019. Keynote speakers such as Terry Hawkins, Phill Nosworthy and Sandy Chong, as well as important panel discussions on technology, leadership and more, will lead the way in this full day event.
