Amber Daughn is an international speaker, facilitator, entrepreneur, and founder of Women Onstage Collective whose work explores communication, connection, leadership, gender, and the lived experiences that shape how we show up in the world.

Her talks and workshops are built around a simple premise: some of the most useful things we know aren’t things we learned from a textbook. They come from what we’ve lived, noticed, navigated, questioned, screwed up, and figured out along the way.

Amber brings those ideas into rooms through keynotes, interactive workshops, and multi-day facilitated experiences. Her work ranges from helping people uncover and articulate their Lived Genius and tell better stories, to examining how gender shapes feedback and recognition, why women can be highly rated yet less heard, how leadership changes across different environments, and why most of us were never actually taught how to network and build meaningful professional relationships.

Her current talks and facilitated experiences include Lived Genius Mapping, Pocket Story + Campfire, Networking Primer, Rated Higher + Heard Less, Alpha to Omega Leadership, and Atta Boy vs. Good Girl.

A full-time nomad with no home base, Amber has built businesses, communities, and relationships across cultures and countries. That global perspective runs through her work, along with a curiosity about the assumptions we inherit about how we’re supposed to communicate, connect, work, and lead.

Maurissa Dawson is a digital marketing and communications specialist with 8+ years in brand strategy, content marketing, and data-driven campaign management. She is currently a CRM and Lifecycle Management Associate at TRUECar, where she builds, tests, and launches email and lifecycle campaigns in Iterable and leads partner outreach for new program concepts.

Her background sits at the intersection of two things that rarely share a stage: enterprise-scale communications and scrappy solo brand building. At Gallagher she ran multi-phase digital communications for clients supporting more than a million employees, segmenting by eligibility, geography, and workforce attributes so messages landed with the right people. Alongside that, she spent eight years as the entire marketing department for a boutique mobile veterinary practice, handling brand voice, SEO, email, website, and analytics with no team and no budget.

That range is what she talks about. Whether an audience is twelve people or a million, the work is the same: figure out who you are speaking to, say one true thing, and measure whether it worked.

Maurissa studied at Pepperdine University, including a year in Lausanne, Switzerland, and is currently at USC Annenberg. She is based in Los Angeles.

Mais appliquer ces techniques telles quelles au Cameroun échoue souvent parce que le vrai problème n'est pas la technique, c'est la confiance. Les Camerounais achètent ce qu'ils comprennent et voient directement, pas ce qu'on leur explique. Cette session décortique pourquoi le ciblage et la créa publicitaire européens ne se transposent pas tels quels ici, et propose une méthode concrète : cibler autrement quand les données utilisateurs sont peu fiables, et construire des créas "preuve d'abord" plutôt que "argumentaire d'abord".

In the beginning... There was teaching English.

But I began writing professionally for the countercultural Spanish tech magazine @rroba in the 90s, and then went on to be the editor/layout monkey/translator/jack-of-all-trades of the Spanish edition of "Linux Magazine – Chronicle of the Revolution".

When that closed, I also quit teaching completely and became editor-in-chief of Linux Magazine — the German one this time, but again in Spanish. I founded a publishing house with German partners in 2004. We published several tech magazines for a decade, covering free software, Linux, open hardware, and mobile technologies. I wrote scathing editorials criticising big tech, public administrations, proprietary vendors, opportunistic politicians, and everything in between. I did layout, marketed the mag to readers and advertisers, unloaded trucks full with pallets of copies, built an online subscription portal, and learned everything about the publishing business I could, just in case it would come in handy.

When the magazine market went belly up in the late 2000s and early 2010s, we held on until 2014 and then called it quits, and I recycled myself into a "communications expert" because, why not?

I started working as a marketing consultant for KDE e.V. in 2017. I work with the members of the Promo team, setting goals, managing campaigns and analysing results. I also help KDE projects optimise their communication strategies, and I copywrite and proofread their websites and blog posts.

I also run most of KDE's fundraising efforts, and consult for GNOME on the stuff I have become experienced with.

Am I expert? I guess so. I think I can answer a lot of questions of what's going on in the open source market, and can figure out what will work in a campaign, and see opportunities where they are not obvious. Either way, I'll let you be the judge of that.
