Keynote & Conference
Your Audience Came to Be Challenged. That’s Exactly What They’ll Get.
Whether you’re planning a conference keynote, an association program, or a virtual educational session, your attendees want more than a polished presentation. They want ideas they’ll actually use — on leadership, on risk, on building something that lasts.
Dan Weedin has spent nearly four decades studying what makes leaders and organizations thrive — and what leaves them exposed. He brings that experience to every stage, every screen, and every room he walks into.
Available for in-person and virtual engagements. Ideal audience size 30–100. Associations, conferences, and corporate events welcome.
Two Ways to Engage
Some organizations need a keynote that energizes a room and sends people home thinking differently. Others need a focused educational session that builds specific skills or tackles a specific challenge. Both start the same way — a conversation about your audience, your goals, and what you want them to walk away with.
Keynote & Conference Speaking Built for associations, conferences, and corporate events. Dan delivers high-energy, interactive presentations that combine real-world experience with practical takeaways. No motivational fluff — just ideas your audience can use the moment they leave the room. Ideal for groups of 30 to 100, in-person or virtual.
Educational Programs & Workshops For organizations that want to go deeper on a specific topic — leadership development, risk awareness, insurance literacy, or crisis preparedness. Structured for learning, discussion, and application. Works equally well as a virtual session, half-day workshop, or board-level presentation.
Topics
Unleashed Leadership The best organizations don’t just have good leaders at the top — they build cultures where leadership can emerge at every level. In this program, Dan draws on nearly four decades of working with business owners and executives to explore what it actually takes to create that kind of culture. Expect honest conversation, practical frameworks, and a few uncomfortable questions your team will be glad someone finally asked.
Unleashed Resilience It doesn’t take much to derail a business that took years to build. One crisis, one gap in coverage, one decision made without the right information — and everything is at risk. In Unleashed Resilience, Dan combines his deep background in risk management with real-world leadership experience to help organizations build the kind of resilience that holds up when it matters most. Practical, specific, and immediately applicable.
Risk & Insurance Education (coming soon) As Dan expands his educational programming for banks, credit unions, private clubs, and business associations, new topic offerings will be added here. If your organization has a specific risk or insurance education need, start with a conversation.
Your energy was contagious and the audience was clearly engaged by your interactive presentation style!
In doing over 10 Best Seller Publishing Institutes, Dan Weedin has given one of the best presentations in the history of these conferences!
Dan was professional and engaging. He came prepared with interactive case studies for our attendees to problem solve. He also chaired our risk management panel of experts and helped guide their conversation and the Q&A that followed.
Dan provided quality education and information which allowed us to offer Continuing Education credits to our attendees. I can completely and wholeheartedly recommend Dan for your next event.
