Guests heard from powerful keynotes, including Suleika Jaouad, Emmy-Award-Winning journalist and New York Times best-selling author, and motivational speaker, Kelsey Tainsh. Attendees had the opportunity to earn CNE and hear general sessions, case studies, posters, and paper presentations both virtually and at an in-person conference setting.
