Closing Keynote: "Breaking Cycles"
Christopher Gardner
Christopher Gardner is the head of his own successful brokerage firm - but just 25 years ago, he was homeless, carrying all his possessions on his back, and occasionally living in a bathroom at a train station. A true testament to perseverance, Gardner tells his story of overcoming obstacles, "breaking cycles," and hard-won success.

The amazing story of Gardner's life was the inspiration for the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness," starring Will Smith as Gardner.
