This year’s conference will feature Donald Davis, Diane Ferlatte, Bill Harley and Andy Offut Irwin plus a dozen other dynamic presenters. Participants can learn from the best storytellers, presenters and authors from around the world.

The conference will help attendees apply the art of storytelling in the workplace, in their writing, in the classroom or onstage.
