Keynote Speaker

Most organizations invest in strategy, talent, and operations. Very few invest in how people actually come together. For twenty years, Priya Parker has helped people navigate the space between each other. She teaches people how to gather with purpose, fight well, and build healthy, vibrant groups that last.

Priya brings her research on gathering and conflict to CEOs, nonprofit leaders, students, and community organizers. Drawing on her decades in conflict resolution, business, and public policy, she mixes real stories with research on gathering as a leadership skill, building belonging on remote teams, and running meetings people actually want to attend. Audiences walk away with language and tools they can use in their next meeting or their next hard conversation.

She is the author of The Art of Gathering and The Art of Fighting.
