Nir Bashan

Nir Bashan

Nir Bashan spent a lot of time on skid row.

He wasn’t there for the shadow economy of drugs and prostitution and discounts on designer knock offs. Instead, he found his formative years in a warehouse in the middle of skid row in downtown Los Angeles. For what he found in this warehouse changed his life forever.

This warehouse bristled with an energy unlike any he has ever experienced. It was a rehearsal space for musicians from all over the world. Where else could a kid jam with the likes of Fishbone and Rob Zombie? All of which Nir did his best to keep up with. Initially, Nir thought it was the music that made the place so electric. He would spend the rest of his life learning otherwise. It was not the music or art that made the place irresistible. It was the creativity. This experience energized Nir and inspired him to devote the rest of his life to spreading creativity to the four corners of the globe.

Today, Nir is a top business speaker leading innovation for high performing leaders and individuals around the globe. As founder and CEO of The Creator Mindset® LLC, where he helps organizations and leaders foster a culture of innovation with his groundbreaking creativity keynote speeches that supercharge business models to improve profitability, increase sales, and boost customer service. He speaks at conferences and events on the creative potential in every single human being on earth. He is represented by 6 speaking bureaus and is consistently ranked as a top innovation keynote speaker. As an invited guest, he regularly speaks to some of the most beloved brands on earth such as Rolex and Porsche.

Happy clients include Microsoft, AT&T, NFL Network, jetBlue, Ingram Micro, Thermo Fisher Scientific, The National Association of Realtors, Suzuki, Lincoln Financial Group, The Association of Payment Professionals, Ace Hardware, Consilio, Texas and Georgia TSA, The Mortgage Collaborative, The Ohio Municipal League, The International Association of Plastics Distributors, EA Sports, HBCE, Home Stagers and ReDesign Alliance Association, Activision, B. Braun, Cardinal Health, The Institute of Internal Auditors, and many, many more.

Modjossorica Elysee

Modjossorica Elysee

Rica Elysee – a funded Black Women entrepreneur in tech - was a successful community organizer, marketer, and fundraising exec who had founded an influential beauty and makeup community for women of color in Boston. Rica was also helping take care of a disabled family member and she noticed how confident hair appointments made this family member feel - but it was hard to find accessible salons and to book and keep appointments. She noticed that most women in her beauty group faced similar problems - late or canceled appointments and long waits for beauty services. So she used her knowledge of the beauty industry, marketing and fundraising to try to solve the “beauty bookings” problem.

Her startup, BeautyLynk (beautylynk.com) brings the beauty salon into women's homes.

She also has a passion to help female entrepreneurs through her work #AttheTable (www.atthetable.io) and #FemaleFoundersDay
