His music offers insight into the male experience, tackling a wide range of issues including the complexities of male friendships. Delivering an urgent and timely message, “Boys’ Club” takes stock of a bleak present while also offering an aspirational vision of the future.

Laura Lawrence - The Power of Adaptability: Thriving in Change with Confidence and Clarity
In today’s high-stakes business world, change isn’t optional—it’s constant. But while disruption can feel overwhelming, it also holds the power to shape stronger leaders, more resilient teams, and a renewed sense of purpose.
In this moving and motivational keynote, Laura shares her deeply personal story—a journey from unexpected adversity to becoming an award-winning entrepreneur and philanthropist in the mental wellness space. What began as a life-altering challenge evolved into a mission to help others lead with courage, clarity, and conviction.
More than a talk on mindset, this keynote is a roadmap for transformation. With vulnerability, humor, and practical wisdom, Laura equips professionals and leaders with the tools to break through self-limiting beliefs, embrace change with confidence, and unlock their full leadership potential—especially in uncertain times.
Keynote Take-Aways:
• Mastering Change with Confidence: Shift from resistance to resilience with strategies for leading effectively through uncertainty and challenge.
• Building Resilient, Growth-Oriented Teams: Learn how to foster adaptability, psychological safety, and long-term success—no matter what comes next.
• Enhancing Focus & Productivity: Gain practical tools to eliminate distractions, optimize workflow, and sustain peak performance even during times of transition.

So you’ve built an amazing event, but how do you move people from their screen to your scene? This discussion digs into how we use social media to turn attention into attendance. We'll cover everything from free to ticketed events. From drop in to register in advance. From targeting a subsection of your community to making your entire campus bump! Bring the posts that worked, the stories that flopped, the last-minute pushes that saved the day, and the tactics that move people from “interested” to “I’m there.”

When Student Ambition Outpaces Student Capacity: Building a Sustainable Club Leadership System
Thursday June 18, 2026 11:30am - 12:30pm MDT
Qu'Appelle
At Marianopolis College, a campus of roughly 2,200 students with over 150 student clubs and only two years for students to get involved before graduating, student ambition can grow faster than student capacity. This session explores the challenges that come with highly motivated student leaders trying to do too much, too quickly, and how a newly developed club system was designed to create more sustainable leadership, stronger club continuity, clearer expectations, and healthier long-term student involvement without crushing creativity or initiative.
