Talent Anarchy (http://talentanarchy.com) will be presenting the keynote:

“It’s not what you know, but who you know that matters.”  That’s how people describe the power of relationships in our personal and professional lives.  Learn why it’s never been more important to have a strong network of relationships and how to go create one.  This session will break down how networks and relationships work and share the “Laws of Connection” that will empower you to create the network you need to be successful.

We seem to intuitively understand that there is power in the relationships we have with others and yet many people fail to intentionally and deliberately harness this power to fuel their own success.  Of all the variables that contribute to our success and happiness, relationships may be where we are least clear about our ability to drive change. Inspirational and informative, this session will provide guidance that you can immediately apply to your personal and professional life.

Here are the breakouts (attendees will pick 2 of the 3 breakouts to attend):
