Keynote Speaker: Flo Groberg*, Captain, US Army, Medal of Honor recipient

Army Captain Florent “Flo” Groberg was on his second deployment to Afghanistan in August 2012 when he demonstrated the selflessness and bravery that earned him the Medal of Honor. Tackling a suicide bomber and saving countless lives while protecting fellow soldiers, Groberg’s actions that day made him only the 10th living American to receive the nation’s top award for valor in combat since the attacks on September 11, 2001. Today, as director of veteran’s outreach at Boeing and LinkedIn’s veteran’s program spokesperson, he is a powerful and prominent advocate for veterans’ issues. He will reveal how people and experiences throughout his life influenced his heroism, and share inspirational thoughts about going above and beyond the call of duty, finding positive in the negative, and summoning your best in the most adverse conditions.
