Dave Dixon

DAVE DIXON

Leaving a Legacy

Sharing with us his toolkit for building a global movement, Dave will demonstrate how these tools can be applied to any business or industry, with the hope of realising we are all capable of becoming agents of change.

As the co-founder of One Girl, a non profit organisation whose programs have supported young women and girls across Africa through education scholarship, small business programs and it’s social enterprise LaunchPad, he shows us what’s possible when we commit to our calling. No matter how uncomfortable or unconventional.

As a TEDx speaker, former Cleo Bachelor and Anthill 30 under 30, his unfolding story is one of courage and conviction, selflessness and service. He now helps Australia’s leading brands and most intriguing personalities tell their stories in more meaningful ways through the art and craft of film.
