Kick Off Your Mornings at Cultivate’24 in High Gear With These Keynotes

By Brian D. Sparks|June 20, 2024

The daily experience at Cultivate starts early, and this year AmericanHort is giving attendees two good ways to start the day on a high note.

The Morning Jolt Keynote on Sunday, July 14, features business leader, speaker, and author Chad Foster. When most people were preparing for the adventure of adult life, Foster, was watching the world he grew up in fade to black. But that did not stop him from becoming the first blind executive to graduate from the Harvard Business School leadership program, building software Silicon Valley said was impossible, or from climbing the corporate ladder as a successful finance and sales executive. Throughout his career, he has not only generated billions of dollars in revenue, but also fostered job creation, industry-leading growth, and best-in-class margins.

Connecting inspiration to implementation, Foster provides a roadmap for overcoming obstacles and achieving the impossible. He will explain the anatomy of resilience at a practical level, providing tried and tested tools that empower you to transform your challenges into opportunities. More than just a talk, this transformative experience will ignite change, inspire action, and unlock your potential.

The next day features the always-riveting State of the Industry address from the AmericanHort team. Learn where the industry stands today and what the future holds. Experts will provide insights on how to plan and navigate the changing market climate driven by rising costs, while also managing business challenges like labor and product availability. The latest thoughts on the political climate and regulatory policy and opportunities will also be shared.

State of the Association – Ken Fisher, AmericanHort President & CEO
Inside Washington Perspective – Matt Mika, AmericanHort Vice President Advocacy & Government Affairs
Economic Update – Dr. Charlie Hall, AmericanHort Chief Economist
