MEET OUR KEYNOTES!
TUESDAY OPENING GENERAL SESSION BREAKFAST & KEYNOTE
Seven Leadership & Life Lessons
Susan O’Malley, Former President of the Washington Sports and Entertainment, First Female President of a Professional Sports Franchise
In an engaging and upbeat presentation, Susan O’Malley outlines the seven seminal ‘rules’ for leadership and life and shares insider stories about entertainment, hockey, and basketball. Her message is influenced by her family and the management lessons she learned in her successful, unprecedented career. Many life lessons are learned early, from family and familial experience. Sitting around the kitchen table listening to parents and grandparents discuss the struggles and triumphs of life and work is one of the most vital learning experiences for any leader. By focusing on the lessons of her own childhood and then reinforcing them with her proven business expertise, O’Malley offers vital insights for leaders of all stripes. A trailblazer for herself and others, she is hilarious, brilliant, genuine, and inviting. Her warm sense of humor, self-described “folksy” style, entertaining stories, and sharp wit make her lessons memorable and an instant favorite among audiences. She leaves listeners thoroughly entertained and uplifted and with practical takeaways for their own lives and businesses.

Dr. Michael Okoroafor, Chief Sustainability Officer, McCormick & Company
In this keynote, thought leader Dr. Michael Okoroafor will share insights in developing a successful strategy for transitioning to a more resilient and sustainable world.

Pot Life to Extraterrestrial Life: Bonding Applications for Deep Space
Dr. Malik Thompson, Aerospace Materials Engineer, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center Adhesives & Seals Materials
Today NASA continues to push the bounds of deep space exploration by developing and manufacturing space systems for interplanetary travel. This requires innovation and extensive testing to expand the limits of materials within the aerospace industry to meet the needs of present and future goals for the agency. Every launch vehicle and spacecraft relies heavily on nonmetallic materials such as adhesives and sealants to bolster their functionality while withstanding some of the harshest environments ever encountered. To meet its goals, from establishing a sustained presence on the moon to numerous scientific missions across the solar system, cutting edge approaches have been devised to test these materials for their viability in space applications. This session will include some of the many adhesives and sealing applications used in NASA as well as an overview of some of the technical needs of the agency as we continue to venture where no human has gone before.
