Annemie has been creating annual PurpleBeach experiences since 2013, all of which have embraced challenging themes, hosted inspiring (and entertaining) guests and have offered unique, original networking events like no other. There is no question she will not ask and there is no answer she will not hear. TED talks; PurpleBeach listens!
