Podcast appearances and mentions of ann o'dea

When Kenji Kuramoto and Matthew May founded Acuity, an innovative, cloud-based financial services firm, could they have possibly imagined that they would someday be hosting The Cloud Accounting Podcast for a live recording session with 80 staff as our audience? It was our privilege to present/record a session called "The State of the Industry" at the first AcuityCon, a gathering of the Acuity team who nearly all work remotely. We chat with Kenji, Matthew, as well as several key team members: Lisa Gilreath, VP of Operations, Ann O'Dea, Controller Team Lead, Sammy Siddique, Cloud Accounting Team Lead, Graham Wood, CFO, and Kai Moon, Senior Customer Success Advocate.

Every May a diverse group of thinkers, entrepreneurs, business leaders, authors, social influencers and more converge on Dublin for an inspirational symposium. Taking a quick look you might think InspireFest is another technology conference. But if you look a little deeper you'll learn it's that - plus a whole lot more. Founded by Irish entrepreneur Ann O'Dea, InspireFest is entering its fifth year in 2019. Ann is also editor and founder of Silicon Republic - a magazine so old it used to be printed! Today the publisher and conference organiser is known for her work promoting diversity, innovation, creativity, and community.

Ann O'Dea from Silicon Republic joins us on the show to talk about journalism, inspiring people....and bird-watching!

Join us as we chat with Ann O'Dea of Silicon Republic about her Artic Challenge for Debra Ireland, the importance of diversity in the workplace and why she is now a big supporter of gender quotas. Opening and closing credits music was Someways by Nicolai Heidlas.

Inspirefest founder, Ann O'Dea, speaks to Róisín Ingle about the technology, science, design and arts, conference at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre next week. With 75% of the event's speakers women, Inspirefest is about disrupting the ‘male pale’ tech conference calendar and was borne out of the Silicon Republic founder’s frustration with the usual 9:1 male to female ratio at such events.
