Get set for networking events, enlightening knowledge-sharing opportunities, and comprehensive education sessions led by the foremost experts in the field. To help you set your own lofty goals, join us for an inspiring CAMX keynote address by Joan Higginbotham , a trailblazing astronaut who journeyed from Earth to the cosmos and back, carrying with her a wealth of insights on conquering challenges in high-stakes environments. Through her remarkable story, Higginbotham will delve into the lessons learned during her ascent to the stars and how those lessons have propelled her success in managing demanding situations. Throughout the event, seize the chance to network and collaborate with peers, partners, and clients. CAMX Park Place offers designated zones for learning, networking, and inspiration. It serves as an interactive Exhibit Hall experience, fostering the exchange of ideas and establishing new connections with like-minded professionals.
