General Session Keynote Speaker
Colin CloudCyber Mentalist
Colin Cloud has been described by the media as being the closest thing to a real life Sherlock Holmes. He’ll reveal your most personal desires, deduce facts about you no one else would know and also predict your behavior in a way that will appear psychic … even though he’s adamant his is not. Having been accepted to study Forensic Investigation at university in Glasgow at just 15 years old, Cloud has been immersed in the world of psychology for over half of his life. Combining this with his background in stand-up comedy, it has resulted in him becoming one of the most in demand mentalism performers on the planet.
Colin has performed for the Royal Family as part of the Royal Variety Performance, been a special guest numerous times on America’s Got Talent and performed on the stages from London’s West End all the way to Broadway.
Having just relocated to Las Vegas to accommodate his residency in the Mirage Resort and Casino, he has been taking the internet by storm transferring his skills to the virtual world with his show ‘The Cyber Mentalist.
Closing Keynote Speaker
David WassermanSenior Editor & Election Analyst, The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, NBC Contributor
David Wasserman is the Senior Editor & Election Analyst for the nonpartisan newsletter, The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, and a contributor to NBC News. Founded in 1984, The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter provides analyses of U.S. presidential, Senate, House, and gubernatorial races. The New York Times called The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter “a newsletter that both parties regard as authoritative.”
In an era of polling uncertainty, Wasserman is the rare analyst who has accurately forecast the last three presidential elections. In 2016, Wasserman drew wide praise for his accurate pre-election analysis, including his uncanny September piece entitled, “How Trump Could Win the White House While Losing the Popular Vote.” In 2020, Wasserman’s forecast of Biden’s win was correct in 49 of 50 states, missing only North Carolina. And in 2024, Wasserman correctly assessed that erosion in Democratic support among young and nonwhite voters made Trump the slight favorite to retake the White House.
Wasserman analyzes the current political environment in lively and entertaining presentations that he can tailor to his audiences’ specific interests or locales. His data-driven forecasting looks at both national and local trends (if requested, he can even do a district-by-district outlook), the relationship between consumer brand loyalty and voting, and what the future holds for American elections.
