Opening Keynote Speaker - David Chalk
David has often been called an anomaly, not for what he achieved, but for where he began. As a child, he was labeled unable to learn. Despite this, David founded and scaled multiple companies, building ventures worth hundreds of millions and working with Fortune 500 organizations—while hiding one truth: he could not read.
At sixty-two, David decided to face it. His literacy journey was documented in The Truth About Reading, showing that reading failure stems from flawed instruction, not intelligence. David is now the co-founder of Reading Road, a personalized AI tutor designed to transform reading education. When people learn to read, they regain belief in themselves. And that belief becomes a superpower. |
