The Points of Light Conference has more than 100 speakers ready to take a deep dive into relevant issues, inspire new thinking and entertain. From the All-Conference Plenary to the Youth Summit and Civic Talks, our Main Stage moments offer something for everyone. Workshop sessions are delivered by global leaders across the nonprofit, corporate and government sectors from those new to a career in the social sector to seasoned C-level executives.  

Here’s a first look at several of our Main Stage speakers: 

  1. Michael D. Smith is CEO of AmeriCorps, the federal agency for national service and volunteerism formerly known as the Corporation for National and Community Service. He has dedicated his career to social justice and public service – particularly in underserved communities like those where he grew up. We are excited to welcome him as our featured speaker at both the Business Summit as well as our Service Summit Luncheon.
  2. Dalila Wilson-Scott is the executive vice president and chief diversity officer of Comcast Corporation and president of Comcast NBCUniversal Foundation. She oversees all diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and philanthropic strategy for Comcast, with a focus on advancing digital equity through Project UP, and the company’s $100 million pledge to advance social justice and equality. Hear from her as our featured speaker at the Service Summit Luncheon. 
  3. Duncan Wardle, former head of innovation and creativity at Disney, is a multiple TEDx speaker and has been featured in many publications including Fast Company, Forbes, Inc., and more. He teaches innovation and creativity masterclasses at Yale University, UNC and U.F. Catch him at our All-Conference Plenary. 
  4. Orion Jean, 2021 TIME’s Kid of the Year and author of “A Kids Book About Leadership,” he’s a young man on a mission. Orion may be only 11 years old, but the number on his mind is 500,000. That’s how many books this Texas boy hopes will be donated by the end of the month. We’re proud to present him as a speaker at our Youth Summit.
