CONVENE: Creator Conversation Followed by Workshop with Case Kenny

3:15 - 3:50 PM Creators: The Mental Health Toll of Influence

Creators navigate the unique pressures of living a public life online. While building community and spreading positivity can be rewarding, behind the highlight reels lie challenges that take a toll on mental health. Join Kendall Toole, Remi Bader, and other leading voices as they share how they protect their well-being, build authentic communities, and create content that truly reflects who they are—while learning from one another’s experiences along the way.

3:50 - 4:15 PM What's YOUR Mantra, with Case Kenny

In this keynote session, join Case in a practical approach to optimism, equal parts education and interaction. Attendees will gain a practical framework for creating optimism, a deeper understanding of how language and mindset interact and a better emotional vocabulary to navigate stress, comparison, & overthinking. They'll leave with their own personal mantra - a simple, empowering phrase rooted in optimism & self-belief - and their very own red pen.

The Convene Pillar is supported by Nespresso and ServiceNow.
