Dear World is an organization that celebrates the power of an individual story. They are known for their distinct message-on-skin portraits and for asking everyone they work with the same question: what is a story only you can tell? They have captured over 200,000 stories around the world and partnered with world leaders, Nobel Prize winners, sports teams, Fortune 500 companies, and universities of all shapes and sizes. Dear World’s work has been featured on The Today Show, ESPN, Rolling Stone, and CNN.
Dear World owner and founder, RX Fogarty, has been photographing people this way since Katrina, sharing messages of hope and healing. In his keynote address, he’ll share stories that connect us to each other. And hopefully provoke you to think about a story in your own life, that only you can tell.
After Tuesday’s keynote, you’ll have the opportunity to reflect and share your own story and message of hope, commitment, and connection. Fogarty will be photographing attendees and their messages, and we’ll be sharing those photos and stories at the closing party on Tuesday evening.
NOTE: Breakfast starts at 8:00am and the general session will start at approximately 9:00am.
