Closing Plenary - Wednesday
Together We Are Limitless
Jeremy Poincenot is an extraordinary figure, not just as a renowned keynote speaker but also as a world champion in blind golf. At 19, Jeremy’s lift took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON), a rare genetic disorder that led to the loss of his central vision. Initially viewing this as a life-limiting setback, Jeremy soon realized that every challenge comes with an opportunity for growth. With determination and the support of his family and friends, he not only adapted to his new reality but also excelled in it.
Jeremy is not your ordinary motivational speaker. With a powerful personal narrative, a little wit and a strong inspirational message, Jeremy provides perspective to audiences and opens their eyes to see the power of interdependence.
Although he cannot see the audience, he can help them see how to effect change and positivity in their own lives. Jeremy’s mission is to help people suspend judgment and focus on the good. His objective is not to dictate how to succeed in life; he speaks from experience to convince individuals that independence is good, while interdependence is great.
