Talks & Discussions

Real voices. Real expertise. Real conversations.

In a world full of noise, misinformation, and mixed messages, hearing from trusted experts has never mattered more.

Our panel talks bring together experienced voices from across industries — offering honest insights, practical guidance, and perspectives girls and their carers can rely on.

With clear, credible information, we are better equipped to think critically, make confident decisions, and understand the world around us. 

The tween and early teen years are a powerful window of development. Neuroscience shows that the adolescent brain is being rapidly rewired — shaping how young people think, manage emotions, make decisions, and build relationships.

Cut through the noise

It’s also a time when girls are forming beliefs about who they are and where they fit in the world.

The Elevate Festival was created specifically  to support girls during this incredibly important stage. 

Our carefully curated discussions around relevant topics for adolescents  bring together science-backed insights, practical tools, and engaging talks with experts, professionals and thought leaders to help young  girls and their families build the foundations they need to navigate teen years  with confidence.
