In a world often defined by uncertainty, stress, and rapid change, navigating daily life can feel like moving through darkness without a clear path forward. Yet, even in the dimmest moments, light finds a way to emerge. Our 2026 conference theme, Radiance, explores those moments of brilliance when individuals discover, cultivate, or become sources of light for themselves and others.
Radiance is more than brightness; it is the warmth of human connection, the courage to persevere, and the passion that fuels ideas worth sharing. Sometimes radiance is innate: a talent, joy, or conviction that shines effortlessly. Other times, it is forged through struggle, growth, or the influence of people and experiences that challenge us to evolve. Like light passing through a prism, a single ray can refract into countless colors, symbolizing how one person’s radiance can ripple outward and impact many lives.
This year, we invite speakers to reflect on what it means to shine in moments of triumph and adversity alike. Through stories of resilience, creativity, and discovery, they will examine how radiance reveals truth, sparks imagination, and guides us forward, both individually and collectively.
