GlueX Speaker Announcement: Two Explorers to Lead Us
BY IT GLUE | March 24, 2021
We are super thrilled to announce that we have confirmed the headline speakers for GlueX 2021. With this year’s edition promising to be a “one-of-a-kind Xpedition into the MSP industry,” we’ve roped in two world-renowned explorers to take the lead.
First off, we have one of the most recognized faces of outdoor adventure and survival TV, Bear Grylls. You may know him from the Emmy Award-nominated series Man vs. Wild. In fact, the former SAS man has hosted more extreme adventure TV shows than anyone else in the world. He is also a best-selling author and business owner.
At GlueX 2021, Bear will talk about the things that shaped him and the lessons he’s learned along the way. Through his keynote, he will take the audience on an expedition to understand how to overcome hurdles and adversity and learn from failures. His stories of resilience, courage and never giving up will inspire, uplift and empower you to face your challenges more effectively.
Next up, we’ve got record-breaking polar explorer and master storyteller Ben Saunders. He gained notoriety for leading the longest human-powered polar expedition in history, a 108-day return journey to the South Pole on foot that spanned 1,800 miles. He is a highly sought-after speaker who was featured in the New York Times best-seller “TED Talks: The Official Guide to Public Speaking” and was labeled a “master storyteller” by TED.
His session at GlueX will offer a compelling insight into the value of optimizing physical, emotional and psychological energy – both individually and collectively – through an immediately applicable masterclass on the vital importance of focus.
But that’s not all. We’ve got Gary Pica, Erick Simpson, Lisa Shorr, Richard Tubb and the list goes on! Head over to the GlueX Agenda Page to get the complete list of speakers, the schedule and the topics.
GlueX 2021 kicks off on May 4 and will unfold on one of the world’s best virtual platforms. It promises a feast of compelling visuals, feature-packed sponsor booths, an intuitive interface and excellent opportunities for 1:1 interaction. With attendees joining in from all over the world, the platform will ensure it remains an interactive and immersive experience for everyone.
The tickets for the event are almost sold out. If you haven’t already grabbed one, now’s the time to do so. The pass gives you access to all the keynotes and breakout sessions as well as the vendor pavilion, networking initiatives and entertainment events right from the comfort of your home office. There are lots of prizes on offer too, including a Jeep Gladiator.
And to up the ante, this year, we have introduced VIP tickets, which grant you access to exclusive content, a virtual backstage pass to speakers and even a premium swag bag*.
