Keynote Speaker: Anand Giridharadas ~ Author, Speaker, Journalist

Anand is the internationally bestselling author of multiple books, including the New York Times bestseller The Persuaders. He shows how we can find connection, build stronger teams, and make change at every level. He draws on the work of activists, organizers, scientists, and others to offer us a new “persuaders playbook”: proven strategies for coming together and making change.

His previous book Winners Take All, a New York Times and global bestseller, is an award-winning investigation into how the global super-elite uses the appearance of “changing the world” to maintain the status quo that serves them and obscure their role in causing the problems they claim to be solving. Anand demonstrates how structural change is American life, and has inspired audiences around the world with his clarion call for real change and democracy in more than name only. Winners Take All was named one of the best books of the year by The New York Times, NPR, and Financial Times and won 1-800-CEO-READ’s Business Book of the Year Award.
