2026 Fall Conference Keynote Speaker Sam Glenn

We're excited to welcome Sam Glenn as our Fall Conference keynote speaker. Sam's philosophy is simple: "The difference between an average day and an awesome day is determined by the attitude we choose every day." His message isn't borrowed from a research study or corporate workshop. It comes from rock bottom. The turning point happened over a cup of coffee, when a good friend gave Sam what he calls "a positive kick in the attitude."

What makes Sam's presentations unforgettable is the live painting he does on stage, a powerful visual experience that reinforces the message long after the event ends. Get ready to recharge and rekindle the positive spark that empowers us to give, do, and be our best.
