In this thought-provoking talk, Jaspreet Kaur challenges conventional ideas about education and success. Drawing from personal insights, everyday humor, and real-life examples, she highlights that while degrees open doors, true learning comes from perseverance, adaptability, and the ability to learn from everyone and everything around us. With powerful analogies and stories, she emphasizes that humans are limitless—we can reinvent ourselves, unlearn, and grow at every stage. The message is simple yet profound: success is personal, learning is lifelong, and we hold the power to shape our own journey. An educationist and filmmaker, she serves as Director educational conglomerates and is the founder of a dynamic production house that creates films, documentaries, interactive television, and digital content. A Computer Science Engineer and VFX & Animation expert, she nurtured her passion for storytelling by pursuing filmmaking at the prestigious Vancouver Film School, Canada. With a progressive leadership style, she focuses on empowering educators, fostering student-centric initiatives, and driving innovation across academic and medical institutions, positioning the Group as a hub of creativity, opportunity, and growth. As an educationist, she is deeply committed to creating environments where learning is engaging, inclusive, and future-ready.

5 months ago, I tore my ACL, but could it have been prevented? In this eye-opening talk, I will challenge the assumptions baked into sports medicine: Why aren't young athletes taught to prevent injuries? How can we overcome gendered environments? And can your menstrual cycle play a role? Combining personal experience with sharp insights, I invite you to question the silence, the systems and the science that failed to warn me and countless others. A huge amount of recognition should also go out to Joanne L Parsons, Stephanie E Coen, and Sheree Bekker for their landmark paper on ACL injures: Parsons JL, Coen SE, Bekker S. Anterior cruciate ligament injury: towards a gendered environmental approach. British Journal of Sports Medicine 2021;55:984-990.
