Keynote Speaker, Andini Makosinski

Andini is a Canadian-born inventor, storyteller, and sought-after speaker who explores the creativity and intersection of art and science. Andini’s childhood was filled with the belief that being given less would result in maximizing one’s creativity. Andini was told to make her own toys with her hot glue gun, which she did by piecing together spare parts and garbage she collected around the house.

At just 15, she earned the top prize at the Google Science Fair—and instant global recognition—for her body-heat powered Hollow Flashlight. She's since gone on to invent eDrink, a mug that turns heat into electricity, and has been named one of Time Magazine's "30 Under 30 World Changers," Forbes' "30 Under 30," and more. Andini reminds us that creativity often begins not with more, but with making the most of what's already around us.

Emcee, Keonté Beals

Keonté Beals’ path to empowering others began with empowering himself. Growing up in North Preston, Nova Scotia, he learned early that your voice matters - but it took years to find the courage to use it authentically. When his deeply personal song “King” faced industry pushback for being “too real,” Keonté made a choice that would define his future: he chose truth over acceptance.

That decision opened doors he never expected. His children’s books now sit in classrooms across Canada. His presentations have inspired 50,000+ students to embrace their worth. His message of self-love has travelled from small-town stages to national conferences, proving that authenticity isn’t just powerful - it’s transformative.
