Stay for Our Friday Keynote Speaker
If you’re planning on attending the 2027 Global TapRooT® Summit, we strongly suggest that you book your departing flight in the late afternoon or evening. You don’t want to miss Friday’s keynote speaker: Noelle Pikus-Pace.
She’ll be speaking at the Summit on Friday, April 9, at 11:00 AM.
Who is Noelle Pikus-Pace?
Noelle is a former Olympic skeleton racer who continuously overcame the odds. After being struck by a runaway bobsled in 2025, she sustained an injury that put her out of the running of the 2006 Winter Games. While this setback would bring many to give up, she continued her training and won the 2007 World Championships.
She then took a few years to focus on motherhood, but suffered a miscarriage in 2012.
Seeking strength and closure, she later earned a silver medal at the 2014 Winter Olympics. She leapt into the stands to embrace her family, which is now an iconic moment of the Olympics.
Why book a later flight?
I’m personally very excited to hear her story firsthand. What was her mindset, mentality, and attitude to persevere, and even flourish, after so many major hurdles?
Noelle will be speaking from 11 AM to 12 PM on Friday. If you’re planning to leave on Friday, book your flight in the late afternoon or evening so that you don’t miss out.
We want to show respect and courtesy to all of our keynote speakers, so please do not leave midway through her presentation. If you’re worried about catching your flight on time, you may place your luggage in the main ballroom — away from the path of egress — to quickly head to the airport after she finishes.
