Media Note: Emma Lo Russo speaking at StartCon 2017

Announcement posted by Digivizer 24 Nov 2017

Sydney, 24 November 2017 - Digivizer CEO Emma Lo Russo is speaking at this year’s StartCon. Her presentation is The Good, the Risky and the Frightening - Conquering the fear of being an entrepreneur. She’ll be sharing her experiences of what it means to take a concept from an idea to a company employing over 60 people, about letting go of the safety of the corporate world, of doing it twice, and how to overcome those nagging fears that lurk behind every decision.


Emma is available for interview before, during and after StartCon 2017. She is on stage at 11:05am on Friday 1 December. StartCon is at Royal Randwick Racecourse, Alison Road, Sydney, New South Wales
