ABOUT OUR PRESENTERS

ALLEN J. BRYSON (Keynote Speaker)

Allen J. Bryson is an author, poet, spoken-word artist, motivational speaker, and educational specialist. He has been writing and performing spoken-word and delivering speeches for over ten years.

He uses spoken word, poetry, motivational speaking and development seminars to empower individuals with words, wisdom, power and passion. There are no great people born; just regular people who grow into their greatness. My efforts are to redefine what’s popular and eradicate what is psychologically toxic and obstructive. This mission is to prove that you have the power to change the circumstances in your life by your words, your thoughts and your decisions.
