This session will demonstrate how to make your business more ‘worthwhile’ by telling the story of a new app which could change the world.

Matching charities with people based on specific skills, and featuring advanced A.I. functionality, 'BeWorthwhile' aims to revolutionise volunteering as we know it. Organisations have already given 240K volunteer days through the system.
