Exciting keynote speakers:
- David Seidler, screen-writer, "The King's Speech" David is English-born, American-bred and grew up a stutterer. As a young child with a terrible stutter, he would listen to radio broadcasts of King George VI, who also was a stutterer. The king's World War II addresses reminded Seidler that if the monarch could overcome his stutterr, so could he: The king was his inspiration.
- Marc Vetri, is a person who stutters (PWS), the2010 Iron Chef winner and the most influential chef today in Philadelphia. His lifelong struggle with stuttering was particularly challenging to him as a child. His speech problems were difficult, and at times kids were not particularly nice. He learned to stand up for himself, and today is a confident adult.
