Speaker Webinar Q&A

If you’re speaking at this year's conference and couldn’t attend the speaker webinar or would like a quick refresher, you can watch the recording here to get fully prepared for your session.

Keynote Speakers

We are thrilled to announce that Kal Penn will be taking the stage as our Thursday keynote speaker! Kal Penn is an Emmy-nominated actor, and a writer, producer, and former Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement. Kal brings a wealth of experience, insight, and inspiration that will make this year’s conference truly unforgettable.

Dr. Jose M. Hernandez, a former NASA astronaut and engineer, has an awe-inspiring story of perseverance and achievement. His path from the fields of California to NASA astronaut is a shining example of determination and courage. The son of migrant farmworkers, he turned a childhood dream into reality—showing that dedication can take you anywhere, even to the stars.

*Due to unforeseen circumstances our originally scheduled Thursday Keynote, Dr. Joy Buolamwini, will be unable to join us. We look forward to hearing more about Dr. Buolamwini’s groundbreaking work in responsible and ethical AI in the future.

We’re excited to share that a special announcement will be made at this year’s CITE Conference. While we can’t reveal details just yet, we promise it’s something you’ll want to be part of. Join us in Sacramento next month for the big reveal!
