Toronto, ON (April 17th, 2013) – On Saturday May 4th, 2013 Kira Talent CEO and Co-Founder Emilie Cushman will participate in the Senior Women Academic Administrators of Canada (SWAAC) Conference and CTO & Co-founder Konrad Listwan-Ciesielski will deliver a keynote at the Canadian Undergraduate Technology Conference (CUTC) on “Why You Will Not Become an Entrepreneur.”

The SWAAC Conference is designed to bring together Canada’s highest-ranking female post-secondary academic leaders for a dialogue on leadership, innovation, and mentorship.

As a former student-leader and now recognized as one of Canada’s 100 most powerful women, Cushman understands what it takes to succeed as a female leader as well as what it takes to disrupt existing ways of conducting business.

On the student front, Konrad’s keynote at the CUTC conference titled “Why You will Not Become an Entrepreneur” is geared towards undergraduate students to explore the their lives for opportunities to change the world. Konrad will discuss how some of the internet’s biggest companies started.

“A start-up is designed to make the world a better place. It’s important for students to start thinking of ways to do this and tackle really big problems.” Says Konrad Listwan-Ciesielski.

Konrad chose to pause his Bachelor of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo after two years in favor of starting and growing Kira Talent. “It’s not a path for every student, but when an opportunity like Kira Talent pops up, students need to be ready to go after it” Says Konrad Listwan-Ciesielski
