Exceptional motivational speaker to kick off Joint General Session

Growing up in Ohio and Indiana before moving to Colorado with his family, Aron Ralston had little exposure to the wild outdoors. But in April 2003, he was an experienced outdoorsman out for a walk in the park. Seven miles into the canyon that day, Aron accidentally dislodged a boulder that crushed and pinned his right hand. After six days of entrapment alone, he freed himself and hiked to a miraculous rescue. Since his amputation, Aron has written an internationally bestselling book, Between a Rock and a Hard Place, spoken to hundreds of audiences around the world, and interviewed by Tom Brokaw, David Letterman, and Jay Leno. Today, Aron lives in Boulder, CO, where he advocates for wilderness protection and where, in February 2010, he embarked on his biggest adventure yet: raising his toddler son, Leo. 127 Hours, the major motion picture adaptation of his book, directed by Danny Boyle and starring James Franco, was nominated for six Oscars.

Other speakers slated to join include Olympic breakdancer Sunny Choi; Dr. Rudolf Preisinger, Chief Technical Officer (CTO) for layers, EW Group; David Portalatin, SVP and Industry Advisor for Food and Foodservice, Circana; and a consumer panel entitled Diversifying our Global Market.
