We heard you loud and clear—she’s back! We are thrilled to announce that the hilarious Leslie Rob is returning to headline our Day 1 Closing Session. As a fellow educator and veteran PD presenter, Leslie knows exactly what it’s like to be in your shoes. She brings the perfect "I’ve been there" humor that has made her a viral sensation on The Today Show, Dry Bar Comedy, and Good Morning America. She isn't just here to make us laugh, though; she’s here to pour back into you!

Double the Leslie, Double the Fun:

Exclusive Breakout: Catch her earlier in the day for an amazing breakout session where she dives deeper into encouragement and professional growth.
