Join us for a lunch and learn at 12:45 pm.  Ali Ingersoll will speak on "The Art of Moving Forward: Outmaneuvering  Challenges, Adapting Like a Row, and Still Having Fun"

Welcome to event planning in 2025. Budgets are tight, expectations are high, and somehow, you’re supposed to pull off flawless experiences—even when the Wi-Fi crashes, the keynote speaker misses their flight, and half your staff is running on caffeine and prayers. Sound familiar?

In this engaging, high-energy closing keynote, Ali Ingersoll—speaker, inclusion business strategist, and professional problem-solver—delivers a fresh, funny, and deeply relatable take on resilience, adaptability, and how to keep moving forward when your event (or life) goes sideways.

Through personal storytelling, brain science, and real-world strategies, you’ll learn how to adapt under pressure without burning out, the neuroscience behind resilience and creative problem-solving, and why small wins lead to big impact for your events, your teams, and your bottom line.

You’ll laugh, learn, and leave recharged—ready to take on your next big event with fresh energy and a game plan to win!
