LEFT: Gary Guller, keynote speaker at the event, captivates the audience with his stories. In 2003, Guller was leader of the largest ever cross-disability group to reach Mount Everest Base Camp, at 17,500 feet. After setting this record, he went on to scale the peak, reaching the summit on May 23, and becoming the first person with one arm to summit Mount Everest. Guller uses his extraordinary experiences to share with his audiences the importance of equality, determination, teamwork and integrity, and how these traits lead to personal and professional success.
