Opening keynote: Drew Dudley
Leadership expert featured on TED Talks

Drew Dudley is an internationally acclaimed leadership speaker, Wall Street Journal bestselling author and the creator of the renowned TED Talk, “Everyday Leadership (The Lollipop Moment).” In this practical and provocative keynote, leadership is reframed as a daily choice rather than a set of titles or accolades earned over time. Drew shows that treating each day as if it is “Day One” of a leadership journey results in a stronger daily commitment to acting on one’s core personal and organizational values.
