Elisa is a very dynamic speaker. Attendees walked away from her keynote fired up to do something and make change. I highly recommend working with her.

  • Collaborative teamwork > Superhero super-strength

Re-writing history, keystroke by keystroke: Elisa Camahort Page at TEDxOlympicBlvdWomen

Working with Elisa on our three-part event series to redesign it from an in-person event to a virtual one during shelter-in-place was a great experience. Having a professional moderator and organizer who knows how to get the conversation moving, does research, and has the knowledge and desire to elevate the very different, dynamic, and interconnected panels we hosted was crucial to our success. Unapologetically feminist, she brought a critical gender lens to our subject matter for each day. Elisa skillfully showcased the strengths of our speakers and left attendees inspired and impressed.
