Called “EdApp Summit 2021: Rewrite the Playbook“, the event is on the 29th of April at 3pm to 7pm GMT, but for Aussies there will be a replay at 11am on April 30, 2021, but you need to register free here to attend.
Commenting on the event, EdApp CEO and co-founder Darren Winterford said: “Now is the time to change our approach to learning and training.

Rewrite the Playbook Speaker Line-Up:
Magic Johnson | Unleashing Potential
Often regarded as the best point guard of all time, LA Lakers’ Earvin “Magic” Johnson’s achievements include three NBA MVP Awards, nine NBA Finals appearances, 12 All-Star games, and 10 All-NBA First and Second Team nominations. After his retirement, the HIV survivor pivoted his success from the NBA court to highly affluent business ventures.
Patty McCord | Challenging the Status Quo
Patty McCord served as Chief Talent Officer of Netflix for 14 years and helped create the Netflix Culture Deck. Since it was first posted on the web, the Culture Deck has been viewed more than 15 million times, and Sheryl Sandberg has said that it “may be the most important document ever to come out of Silicon Valley.” Today, McCord is an advisor at HubSpot and continues to coach CEOs and their teams to help define leadership and company culture.
Arsène Wenger | Traditional Rules Don’t Apply
Iconic football manager, Arsène Wenger, joined the English Premier League (EPL) club, Arsenal in 1996 and has since become the longest-serving manager of the club. Wenger won three Premier League titles, seven FA Cups, and masterminded the entire unbeaten league campaign in 2003-04 as his “Invincibles” team became champions. He now serves as the Chief of Global Development for FIFA.
