How do we present and fit all the topics of the summit celebrating women from all walks of life? Initially I illustrated the literal nouns with pictograms but it didn’t feel right. It wasn’t connecting with the story of the summit. I was stuck, and went back to the drawing board. How do I approach this from a fun angle?

Well, I love illustrating objects. The target audience are cyclists. Illustrating the essentials cyclist bring on them on the road suddenly made a lot of sense. CW added to the idea: How about including items related to each speakers?
