FROM THE PRESIDENT MIKE HOLT | LEGACY PARTNERS Announcing Apartmentalize Speakers Two Great Shows with Amazing Education A partmentalize is coming soon... very soon! We are so excited to host AAMD members at our local show May 22, and then host the rest of the nation for NAA's National show June 26-28! As you can see from the cover, the next few months will hold amazing opportunity to hear great speakers, panelists, and thought provoking leaders. I’d like to especially brag about three outstanding keynote speakers during the AAMD and NAA. First off, on May 22, the engaging Scott Stratten will be speaking at the Denver Mart at AAMD's Keynote Luncheon. Scott is a hilarious podcaster and speaker who focuses on different ways of marketing through social media as well as his approach to customizing your audience during this age of disruption. He says that good marketing starts with the people you hire and the things you do worth talking about. There's a video on AAMD's website with some clips of him speaking and I'm super excited about seeing him next month. A recent inductee into the National Speaker Association Hall of fame proves he’s one not to miss. 6 | TRENDS APRIL 2019 For the June Apartmentalize conference, NAA recently announced their two keynote speakers. The Thursday session (on June 27), speaker is Mindy Kaling. You might remember her as Kelly from The Office or Mindy from The Mindy Project, or perhaps from recent 2018 films A Wrinkle In Time or Ocean’s 8. She’s also an accomplished writer and comedian so expect to laugh and be motivated by Mindy's many experiences in television and what she's up to these days. Finally, at the Friday Session (June 28), Laila Ali, a former professional boxer with a 24-0 record and the daughter of Mohammed Ali, will be speaking. The first woman boxer to headline a Pay per View card will be speaking about her newest passion, living a healthy lifestyle through good food and exercise. Don’t miss this one, it’s sure to be a knockout performance. SCOTT STRATTEN MINDY KALING It’s not to late to participate, you can still save by sending your teams to both shows for one price.
