MADex aims to fill this void by serving as the conduit for collective wisdom and human experiences in the Marketing & Advertising world. Short and concise 20 minute speaking sessions are packed with the kind of knowledge and wisdom not readily offered at the usual conference scene. We’ll select the most interesting people with the most interesting stories to share heartfelt and substantive commentary on this crazy game we all love so much.

Through their adventures (and misadventures) in life, their experiences in the school of hard knocks and what they learnt – get inspired by the precious and often humble valuable lessons of life from of these 8 prolific speakers.
