Annual Meeting Featured Speakers

  • Jeremy Gutsche Opening General Session

    Jeremy Gutsche, MBA, CFA, Chief Trend Hunter, TrendHunter.com

    Prepare for exhilarating ride as Jeremy Gutsche challenges us to think and act differently. It is not only possible—but critical—to harness this time of unprecedented chaos, and Jeremy will show the way. From unlocking the nature of cool to driving authentic innovation, Jeremy is not just another keynote speaker–he is an intellectual can of Red Bull®. The opportunity is out there; this session will reveal how to find it and use it to take you from where you are to where you need to be!

  • Kevin Carroll Closing General Session

    Kevin Carroll, Katalyst

    Wondrous journeys are born from inspiration. Answer the call to be a "katalyst" as Kevin Carroll challenges us to harness the power of sport and play as a vehicle for chasing and achieving dreams. Kevin’s life experience provides a mosaic that will inspire you to act. But this isn’t just about feeling good. Kevin has worked with multi-billion dollar companies including The Walt Disney Company, Mattel, Procter & Gamble and Starbucks to turn creative ideas into bottom line results. All this inspired from a simple red rubber ball. Join Kevin as we re-discover wonder and go From Here.
