Kraig Kann, founder and Managing Director of Kann Advisory Group, will be the keynote speaker for this year’s IAGA Annual Conference sponsored by Golf Genius scheduled for November 6-9 in Point Clear, Alabama. Kann began Kann Advisory Group in 2016 after a 25-year television career including 17 years with the Golf Channel.
Kann was an original on-air personality at Golf Channel serving eventually as a studio host. He interviewed hundreds of athletes, politicians and corporate executives which positioned him to become the Chief Communications Officer for the LPGA, a role in which he served from 2011-2016.
In his keynote address, Kann will focus on how to bring attention to stories and brands to better position organizations and groups in the public eye. He will also conduct a breakout session entitled ‘A Brand New You: Elevating Presence, Amplifying Performance.’
“I’m fortunate to speak to many organizations,” said Kann. “The chance to reach audiences within the golf industry is something that really gets me excited! I’m ready for the trip to Alabama to share my message about the importance of communicating a message and a story that gets people’s attention, building greater awareness and elevating people in the process. This won’t be a “talk.” Get ready for an interactive and empowering experience that builds a brand new you.”
A sought after motivational speaker, Kann’s keynotes and popular “Elevate Workshop” have drawn rave reviews from the likes of Accenture, Transamerica, Titleist, SAP, KPMG, Zurich, Gallagher, Diamond Resorts, PGA of America, CoSIDA and others.
Kann’s platform has widened significantly with roles as the weekly show host of Connected with Kraig Kann on SiriusXM, his growing podcast Tracks To Success, and the January 2021 release of his book Can You Get Our Attention? which quickly reached Top 20 status on the Amazon Best Seller List and was recognized as a finalist at the 2021 International Book Awards while winning top honors at the 2021 San Francisco Book Festival and New York Book Festival and earning the silver medal from Reader’s’ Favorite as “Best New Book 2021 – Marketing”.
The IAGA Annual Conference will be held at The Grand Golf Resort and Spa. Registration is available on the website at www.iaga.org.
