Crush 2024 Speaker Application Now Open

Crush is a new kind of business event for rebel leaders.

Crush was founded by thought-leaders Anna Pyykkö & Katja Presnal who own Female Founders Suomi and Insider Society communities for supporting business owners. 

Crush Movement's vision is to make Finland the first country in the world, where the gender equality gap is closed. We influence the business world towards more equality and help female, immigrant, and marginalized people-owned companies grow.

Do you think diversity, equity, and inclusion are important for equality and human rights, but also needed for business growth?

We think economic growth is possible better with social sustainability, and that's why we are calling for diverse speakers to inspire, empower, educate and give actionable advice and concrete tools for leaders who shape the future through human-centric innovation. 

We invite well-known business leaders to share the stage with emerging new talent to provoke and question the status quo.
