Announcing our 2024 Special Forces Summit Guest Keynote Speaker: INKY JOHNSON, who will join us on the Main Stage Wednesday afternoon, September 11, to help us close out Special Forces Summit! After sustaining a life threatening, career-ending injury while playing football for the University of Tennessee, Inky Johnson reached deep within himself to channel his X-factors - heart, dedication, and work ethic, among many others - and began forging a new and equally powerful future. We can't wait to hear Inky's story and learn as he shares lessons and strategies for embracing change, committing to your goals, and staying focused on the future you've forged for yourself.
