Keynote Presentations

• Manley Feinberg, business leadership and peak performance expert and author will present “Reaching Your Next Summit: 7 Vertical Lessons to Lead in the Unknown.” Feinberg, a world traveled mountain climber, will deliver an inspirational talk on how attendees can “Achieve New Heights” in their career and life. Manley has the unique gift of being able to motivate and engage corporate teams in high stakes markets and lead groups climbing the steepest of mountains. Attendees will walk away with a renewed sense of focus, commitment and momentum to realize the next level in life and business.
• Kyle Scheele, accidental TikToker and champion of crazy ideas will present “BECOMING AN IDEA FACTORY: How to Turn Yourself (and Your Organization) Into an Innovation Machine.” Innovation and new thinking are critical for growing businesses, engaging teams, supporting efficiency, and achieving long term success. Scheele will share how to challenge norms and embrace creativity, which leads to positive change and new summits.
• Julia Landauer, NASCAR 2-time champion and motivational speaker will present “DRIVE: Using Technology and Data to Get to Victory.” Landauer will discuss how understanding the biology of fear can help individuals approach things that scare them with confidence, and techniques for how to use technology to support innovative practices.
• Adam Smiley Poswolsky, workplace belonging expert, will present “Creating Human Connection and Community in the Era of Hybrid, AI, and Overwhelm.” In a lonely, nonstop, overwhelmed work environment, workplace connection has withered. Behind every success, there’s a team of people, a mentor, or someone supporting and encouraging individuals to be their best selves. In a remote and hybrid work world, it can be hard for team members to find this support. Smiley Poswolsky will provide practical insights on how to tackle these challenges. Attendees will leave the presentation with a toolkit to reimagine a collaborative, inclusive, people-first culture, and become an industry leader in the future of work.
• Alex Weber, award-winning entertainer and American Ninja Warrior will present “UNSTOPPABLE.” In the fast-changing world of IT support and service management, everyone faces setbacks, fears, negativity, pressures, and uncertainty. But not everyone knows how to overcome these challenges. In this presentation, Weber will share his battle-tested system to achieve peak leadership and performance.
