Featured Presenters
David Flood ● David’s narrative as a youth speaker comes firsthand; he grew up impacted by addiction in his family; he married and became a father of two children, his oldest is a special needs son. David has spoken in 38 states and Canada to over 400,000 students, inspiring them to look at people and things in a different way. His Facebook videos have received over 100 million views. He speaks with passion and conviction and through his humility, leaves his audience with so much to think about in their formative years as they move into their future.
Brandon White ● Author, speaker, and youth mover, Brandon Lee White helps teens take ownership of who they are, what they want, and what holds them back. Born unable to speak, Brandon shares his journey from outcast to school president as well as his 6-year battle with depression and being an “unmotivated motivational speaker.” Brandon speaks on character and leadership to thousands of youth and adults in schools as well as Career and Technology Student Organizations such as FCCLA, DECA, FBLA, HOSA, FFA, and SkillsUSA as well the National Association of Student Councils and 4-H
Matt Markey ● Based in Omaha, Comedy Hypnotist Matt Markey encourages participants to focus on the swinging watch and experience the world of the trance and hypnotism. Some conference participants will get involved in his comedic journey and take the stage to experience the sensations of his hypnotic states, while others will sit back and enjoy the humor that arises from the unbridled energy of those under his spell. Matt utilizes science and his entertaining gifts to bring his audiences to life, while half asleep.
Karen Bramman ● Based in Council Bluffs, Karen encourages and facilitates opportunities to empower attendees abilities to embrace their power within, to be aware, safe, and able to act in ways to defend themselves. Karen’s Saturday afternoon smaller group sessions encourage your POWER WITHIN!
