4 CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS General Sessions start each day strong with our inspirational keynote speakers. MONDAY, JUNE 6 KAI KIGHT COMPOSE YOUR WORLD Sponsored by Travelers. Why do some people just play notes they are handed while others write new music in the world? In his captivating presentation, violinist Kai Kight will tackle this question, perform original music and share the inspiring story of how he became an innovative composer in a field of conformity. This session will leave you feeling inspired to take your future into your own hands and bring your unique ideas forward. TUESDAY, JUNE 7 KELVIN COLEMAN CYBERSECURITY: A DHS PERSPECTIVE Sponsored by Travelers. Kelvin Coleman oversees Government Engagement for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security s (DHS) Office of Cybersecurity and Communications (CS&C). In this role, Mr. Coleman manages CS&C s relationship with Federal and non-federal public sector stakeholders. Specifically, he is responsible for developing, promoting and implementing policies that fully integrate government agencies, at all levels, into Federal cybersecurity plans, procedures and exercises. Through these activities, CS&C provides state, local, tribal and territorial organizations with the leadership, expertise and coordination to assess and mitigate risk to critical cyber infrastructures. During this presentation, Coleman will provide an overview of the cybersecurity threat environment. Attendees will also learn how DHS resources have been aligned to manage cyber risk. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8 ADAIR CATES LEADING FROM WITHIN: WHAT NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT BEING A GREAT LEADER Sponsored by Midwest Employers Casualty Company. The number one reason today s leaders fail isn t because they aren t working hard enough, it s because they re working too hard. Leadership requires reflection, self-awareness and vulnerability, which most leaders don t practice when they become a person of influence, whether at work, in the community or at home. To be an inspiring (and effective) leader, you must be clear, confident and connected; you must learn to lead yourself first and then fully engage with others to be the kind of leader others want to follow. Learn how to clear away the clutter of what you thought made a great leader, and focus on what really matters on your journey to lead positively in all areas of your life. NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES: Join fellow professionals, thought leaders and experts in the public sector risk management field for conversation and fun. Don t miss these opportunities to connect with others who face the same challenges and successes you do every day. VISIT CONFERENCE.PRIMACENTRAL.ORG 3
