Processing the Keynote Address Sessions
A really good keynote speaker will leave you saying to yourself, “WOW! That speaker was incredible, but I have so many unanswered questions!” Anticipating that all three of our keynotes will definitely be incredible, we have included follow-up sessions after each keynote address to give attendees the opportunity to process information, ask questions and delve more deeply into their topics.
Session 1A | Desiree Adaway
