This is a conference by students, for students. As such, we felt it was fitting that our keynote speaker be a successful student. We are excited to announce that our keynote speaker at this year’s SLAM Conference is Dallas Robinson, a current UVU student and co-founder of Kisstixx®. Dallas has shown personal leadership in taking an idea and turning it into so much more.

Dallas Robinson is a budding student entrepreneur and business enthusiast. He caught the entrepreneur bug early on as a kid and has been addicted to business ever since. Most recently Dallas founded the company KISSTIXX that was featured on ABC's Shark Tank and received investment from Mark Cuban. Other notable accomplishments include being named one of Forbes magazine's All Star Student Entrepreneurs for 2012 and being recognized by the SBA director Karen Mills and featured on the White House Blog.

We hope you will decide to make a presentation proposal, participate in our pre-conference 5K, or at least attend this conference to learn about and from the great undergraduate students who are doing amazing things in the areas of leadership and mentoring.
