Uncommon: Unique Ways for a Unique World

What does this mean?
Everyone experiences problems that are common to many people in our everyday lives. But we each have our own unique POV to these personal challenges. It is your unique vision that allows growth and learning to be shared with others. If you created an idea or have experienced an uncommon solution to a common problem, we want to hear from you. Your talk can empower others to create a unique world together.
