Lilah Jones | "Pack Bold. Travel Far. Lead Differently." | MPI WEC 2026 Keynote | San Antonio

Lilah Jones closed MPI's World Education Congress 2026 in San Antonio with a keynote that challenged nearly 1,800 meeting and event professionals to rethink how they lead — and what they're carrying with them that's slowing them down. Drawing on her 20+ years at Google, Microsoft, and Oracle — including nine years on Google Cloud's founding sales team as it grew from startup to $106B enterprise — Lilah delivers a message that's equal parts practical and personal. Her talk, "Pack Bold. Travel Far. Lead Differently," uses the metaphor of travel to reframe how leaders approach change, courage, and the conversations they've been avoiding. Key themes from this keynote: – Why most teams aren't held back by lack of talent, but by hesitation and misalignment – What it means to "pack bold" — and what to leave behind – How to stop hiding behind busy and start leading with purpose – The Activation Methodology™: Lilah's framework for moving teams from stuck to forward Lilah Jones is represented by Eagles Talent Speaker Management.
