PLAYFAIR

Join us for a high-spirited, high-energy event that allows Key Clubbers to engage with each other, laugh with each other, and feel a part of an exciting Key Club community. Its team building, its comedy, and it’s lots of fun! In Playfair, Key Clubbers meet each other in many different ways – as the entire Conference is gathered together, and in many fast-moving breakout rooms. Members will engage in mental and physical challenges as they play games that bring them closer together.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Tom Krieglstein

Tom Krieglstein has trained over one million people, won eight national speaking awards, given a TEDx talk at UCLA, and once got edited off The Oprah Winfrey Show.

He is the founder of Swift Kick and creator of Dance Floor Theory™, a leadership and engagement system used by companies like Nike, Apple, Coca-Cola, Pfizer, and even the U.S. Military to build what Tom calls a Culture of Connection™, where engagement, retention, and productivity thrive. Since launching his first company in college (which hit $1.5 million in annual sales), Tom has delivered keynotes and training in England, South Korea, Indonesia, Bermuda, and across the entire U.S. He’s also served on the boards of the NYC Entrepreneurs’ Organization and the National Speakers Association, and despite that Oprah thing, has numerous media appearances. His work has been featured on NBC, YouTube (where he has one video with over 18 million views), TEDx, and even the Tofurky box.

Oh, and if you’re wondering: yes, he really was named after a cat. Yes, he lives next to Aaron Rodgers. And yes, he can do 100 pushups in a row, but only if there’s peanut butter at the end.
