Entrepreneurial Magician to speak at ITx

Entrepreneurial Magician to speak at ITx

PRESS RELEASE – Institute of IT Professionals NZ Inc
23 June 2016, For Immediate Release

ITx has added a new speaker to its line-up for what is shaping up to be the largest tech event of the year.

The 2013 South Australian Entrepreneur of the year Vinh Giang has been building businesses from a very young age. Over the years, he has discovered many common threads between his two passions: business and magic.

Vinh will not only share powerful stories from his journey, which highlight the key principles of his success he will use magic to demonstrate precisely how real his lessons are.

Vinh is fascinated by the psychology behind the mysterious art of magic. He has devoted himself to understanding the ways in which people are fooled, not only by illusions, but by the tricks that life plays on us, and that we play on ourselves.

Vinh uses this combination of psychological insight, business experience and the art of illusion to educate the audience on how to achieve more, deliver better results and to live the life we’ve always wanted but have convinced ourselves we’ll never have.

Vinh joins a line-up of speakers in nine streams delivering over 150 talks, panels and presentations.

There are some amazing keynotes like Edith Yeung, founding Partner of global venture capital seed fund and startup accelerator 500 Startups' Mobile Collective, giving you the inside word on Silicon Valley and how to be invested. Or Mark Smalley, one of the leading thought leaders from The Netherlands.
