Sunday Keynote: Taylor Hughes
Taylor fell in love with the art of illusion as a child when his parents bought him a magic kit for his 7th birthday. More than 30 years and thousands of presentations later, Taylor has become known for his signature style of Magic Storytelling. Taylor uses his skills of storytelling and prestidigitation to entertain and encourage audiences to find the wonder in every aspect of life.

Tuesday Keynote: Stephanie Boyce
Stephanie’s journey along the path of academia was anything but typical, taking her from being a rebellious student in at-risk schools to teaching and leading in at-risk schools, and eventually serving as a researcher and advocate in the same schools. She is an innovator who advocates tirelessly for the millions of students who may otherwise be left voiceless in classrooms across America. Stephanie’s goal is to demystify complicated systems and show ALL people entry points for engagement to ensure equitable outcomes for students and distribution of resources and opportunities.
