Each year we bring you keynote speakers who have made a big difference. The world is filled with inspiring people who demonstrate mind-blowing acts of creativity, heroism, and courage. We pride ourselves in bringing you the best.

Instead of scheduling only one “gem” (a high-profile keynote session) in each of two time slots, there are a few dazzling and brilliant sessions and speakers to choose from! Attend the one that’s right for you and your areas of interests.

It’s time to reconnect with live, in-person business networking!

All attendees are invited to join us on Sunday evening for a welcome reception, and on Monday evening for an additional networking get-together. Both evenings will have drinks, canapés, and fun – it’s a perfect opportunity to wind down, mingle, talk shop, and make new friends. Also, stay tuned for details about the networking party for Tuesday evening – with a James Bond theme, you know it’s going to be extra special!
