Keynote Speaker
Cate McQuillan is the Emmy-award winning Australian co-creator of the much loved animated stories of dirtgirlworld and its live action series, Get Grubby TV. A talented weaver of stories, Cate can tell a story with equal power whether she’s on stage or on screen. By drawing on her love of nature, she helps her audience explore the world, where we belong in it and when and how we can shape it. She is committed to the notion that ideas, words, and actions can influence a generation.
