Keynote:

When Life Shatters: Building Resilience After Tragedy

When life shatters, what comes next? In this powerful and inspiring keynote, AnneMoss Rogers explores how the darkest moments can give rise to unexpected strength, clarity, and purpose—and that growth is never automatic.

Grounded in the science of post-traumatic growth and drawing from both her experience as a brain tumor survivor and the loss of her son to suicide, she shares how it is possible to intentionally transform grief, trauma, and adversity into resilience—ultimately weaving it into the tapestry of our lives. Far from a story of despair, AnneMoss centers her message on the human capacity to grow through what we go through, with vulnerability, intention, and hope.

Breakout:

Parenting in the Digital Age: Smartphones, Social Media, and Youth Mental Health

Algorithms, social media, and constant connectivity shape how kids see themselves, relate to others, and cope with stress. As today’s digital world increasingly influences youth mental health, parents are asking: When should my child get a phone? What kind? How much online access is too much?

Drawing on her decades of experience as a digital marketing expert, AnneMoss Rogers helps people understand how predatory algorithms zero in at vulnerable moments to keep kids scrolling. Informed by both current research and her lived experience as a mother who lost her son to suicide, this session offers practical, age-appropriate strategies for setting boundaries, recognizing warning signs, and building resilience.
