Johnny Quinn to Give Conference Keynote Address
Former NFL wide receiver and U.S. Olympian Jonny Quinn will join us as this year’s conference keynote speaker. Jonny’s unique journey—from professional football to competing in the 2014 Winter Olympics—offers a powerful message about resilience, reinvention, and performing under pressure. Known for his energetic storytelling and practical insights, he inspires audiences to break through barriers and embrace change with confidence. His keynote promises to motivate and equip attendees with a fresh sense of purpose and possibility.
Special Session on AI as it Applies to Workflow Production and Productivity
Guest speaker Howie Fenton will highlight how AI tools enhance workflow efficiency, streamline routine tasks, and support smarter, more productive operations.
An Evening on the St. Pete’s Bay
As part of our annual conference, we are delighted to host a special evening aboard the Starlight, one of St. Petersburg’s premier private dining and sightseeing yachts. Conference attendees and registered companions will enjoy a relaxing dinner cruise along the beautiful waterfront, taking in panoramic views as the sun sets over the city. The Monday evening event will feature a seated dinner, time to unwind with colleagues, and the chance to experience St. Petersburg from the water—a memorable highlight of this year’s conference.
