You can always count on an truly engaging lineup of great speakers at AFLA’s annual conference, and this year is looking better than ever!

From Navy Seal David Rutherford’s keynote focusing on “a team-oriented lifestyle that is necessary to achieve elite levels of success” to motivational consultant Susan Lund sharing “seven simple accelerators to gain buy-in and drive results.” From Bram Bluestein on “Speaking the Procurement Language” to Christine Cashen’s fun-yet-powerful presentation on “Get What You Want With What You’ve Got,” you really won’t want to miss any of the speakers in this year’s mix.
