Talks and ideas
Philip speaks about music, creativity and technology, often with the cello in hand.
C2 Montréal · May 2015
Turning a bad moment into a tango
At C2 Montréal, Philip turned an awkward moment in the room into a tango, composed on the spot. He also gave the keynote “All About the Baldwin”, ran a creative workshop on communication, and closed the forum with the summary keynote.
This man basically made every Forum session worthwhile… he had a stellar stage personality and presence as well. I left C2 wanting to hear more from Philip!
