About This Event: The Executive Leadership Series events are designed to be valuable professional development and networking opportunities for CEOs and their key team members and proteges, as well as influential leaders in the private, non-profit and public sectors.

This Year’s Keynote, Tim Urban

Tim Urban is the co-founder and creative force behind the extremely popular Wait But Why blog and has authored dozens of articles on a wide range of topics, which have been republished on sites like Quartz, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, TIME, Business Insider and Gizmodo.

Known for synthesizing complex concepts and presenting them in humorous and memorable ways, Urban has been featured in documentaries, The Mars Generation and Behind the Curve, as well as the most-watched TED talk of 2016, “Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator,” with more than 32 million views.

Wait But Why has topped 10 million unique visitors during peak months and attracted thousands of patrons, including Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who solicited Urban’s input and illustrations for his talk at the December 2015 Climate Change Conference in Paris. Urban’s subsequent four-part blog series on Tesla, SpaceX and Musk himself has been read by over 4.5 million people. According to Fast Company, Urban has “captured a level of reader engagement that even the news media giants would be envious of.”

Mr. Urban is also the co-founder of ArborBridge, a test prep firm dedicated to providing the most effective one-on-one SAT/ACT prep in the world. He holds an A.B. in Government from Harvard University.
