Sessions, Speakers and Ticketed Events
On the DKG website, under “Events” and “Detroit” you will find the introductions to our planned keynote speakers: Monica Eason, Kristy Sidlar, Dr. Debbie LeBlanc, and Nita Scott.
Please note on the schedule that our speakers will be presenting at a ticketed event so be sure to sign up for those meals. Monica Eason will speak at the Thursday luncheon, Kristy Sidlar at the Friday breakfast, Debbie LeBlanc and Nita Scott at the Friday luncheon, and the Southfield Martial Arts group will present at the Saturday breakfast.
Below the speakers’ information, you will also find the schedule, and a peek at the sessions being offered. Download the workshop info to see titles and descriptions of the forty-five sessions being offered! It will be difficult to choose. There is truly something for everyone.
Detroit Conference Peek
The DKG International Conference in Detroit is from Wednesday, July 12 through Saturday evening, July 15. Wednesday, July 12, offers two pre-conference sessions, “Parliamentary Training” and “Breathe for Change: Mindfullness and Classroom Yoga”. Both are ticketed events.
