The world can feel like a scorched landscape these days — thanks to declining public trust and increasing hyperpolarization. But the only way forward is with courage and conviction, a truth our keynoter knows firsthand. As a survivor of the Pulse Night Club Shooting who went on to create a powerful, thought leadership platform, Brandon Wolf now serves as the national press secretary and senior director of political communications at the Human Rights Campaign. In this inspiring keynote, he’ll outline how we, too, can forge a path forward so we don’t just survive turbulent times, but thrive in them with resilience and authenticity. He’ll share:
