When we collide we come together: Marie Macklin at TEDxUWS

Marie Macklin
Chief Executive, KLIN Group.
Marie Macklin has drive and determination in spades and, with strong entrepreneurial flair, has transformed the family business from a local property company to an international development and regeneration force. Marie will talk about her background, the highs and lows, the challenges and the successes, and we'll get an insight into why Biffy Clyro really strikes a chord with this Kilmarnock entrepreneur. With a strong social conscience, Marie believes passionately that communities can achieve great things in the face of adversity and that Scotland can truly be the biggest and best small country, driven by enterprise and determination.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
