Confirmed Keynote speakers
Billie Jordan
How do you inspire a large team of people aged 65 to 95 years old to embrace an outrageous goal of
becoming competitive hip hop dancers and, in just eight months’ time, perform at the World Hip Hop
Championships in Las Vegas? What do you do when they don't like hip hop, are resistant to change and
aren't committed to the goal? Billie Jordan shares her leadership lessons and personal story to show that,
with a focus on the end goal and the ability to change mindsets, anything is possible!
Awards and accolades
Billie was awarded a Queens Honour in 2016, was New Zealand Woman of the Year in 2016/2017 and won the New Zealander of the Year award in the Local Hero category in 2015.
She is the star of an award-winning feature documentary film Hip Hop-eration, which has screened in cinemas all over the world, and now
Hollywood plan on making the story of her life into a movie.

Liam Malone.
The Gold medallist blade-running Paralympian put aside his successful athletic career to follow his passion for technology and innovation which led him to work with internationally renowned artificial intelligence (AI) firm Soul Machines, known for their cutting edge, world leading AI technology.
Liam is widely known as the world number one blade runner - hitting the headlines when after less than three short years in the sport he broke the previous Paralympic records held by Oscar Pistorius. His story of hitting rock bottom while at university to turning it all around and receiving two golds and a silver medal at the 2016 Paralympic Games is nothing short of incredible. His times on the track make him New Zealand’s second fastest 400m sprinter ever - legs or not!
Awards
Liam’s awards also include the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to Athletics, Disabled Sportsperson of the Year at the 54th Halberg Awards, and winner of the Sovereign Insurance ‘Make a Difference’ start up competition.

"I've been a supporter of the itSMFnz for many years, both in my capacity as the CIO of the Warehouse and more recently as an IT Consultant supporting CIOs to understand and actually deliver on the digital dividend.
I'm a firm believer that playing an active role in branch meetings and attending the annual conference is great way for a CIO and their senior leaders to come together and engage collectively with industry experts / thought leaders to learn and plan for the future. It's been my experience that this type of approach makes a real difference to improving the end to end delivery of IT services within an organisation and offers tremendous value"
