Registration for the virtual Summer Conference will open the week of May 4.

In his keynote address, Hampton will reflect on his significant experience playing for the Chicago Bears and illustrate how the team building and leadership skills he learned are valuable to any work environment. Despite enduring 10 knee surgeries during his career, Hampton remained one of the most dedicated players. Topics that will be addressed include adapting to change, the importance of leadership and the value of working together.
