GENERAL SESSIONS MONDAY, JUNE 8 | THE POWER OF A QUANTUM LEAP SPEAKER: GLORIA MAYFIELD BANKS Sponsored by A true Quantum Leap doesn’t come from chasing something outside of yourself — it comes from mastering the leadership principles that already exist within you. In this powerful keynote, Gloria Mayfield Banks reframes the idea of a quantum leap as the natural outcome of intentional leadership. When leaders understand, embody, and consistently apply the right principles, growth accelerates — not only for them, but for everyone they influence.
TUESDAY, JUNE 9 | THE POWER OF STORY IN RISK MANAGEMENT SPEAKER: KELLY SWANSON Sponsored by In a world where uncertainty is constant and risk is part of the daily landscape, the way we see our story — and the way we tell it — becomes a powerful tool for influence. In this high-energy, humor-filled keynote, Kelly Swanson reveals how story shapes mindset, builds trust, and strengthens connection in the moments that matter most.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10 | SHAPING THE FUTURE: NAVIGATING AI, EMERGING TECHNOLOGY, AND WORKFORCE RISK IN A RAPIDLY EVOLVING LANDSCAPE Sponsored by PRIMA’s 2026 keynote lunch and learn panel offers practical guidance on technology-driven risks involving data governance, workforce dynamics, and ethics.
