For more than three decades, Katie Couric has been one of the defining voices in American journalism. From her 15 years as co-anchor of TODAY to her time at CBS Evening News, she helped shape the way millions of people experience the day's biggest stories, earning the trust of audiences through incisive reporting, thoughtful interviews, and an ability to make even the most complex issues accessible. As the first woman to solo anchor a network evening newscast, Couric broke barriers while setting a new standard for broadcast journalism.
Her impact has also extended well beyond the newsroom.

Her televised colonoscopy sparked what became known as the "Couric Effect," dramatically increasing colorectal cancer screening rates nationwide. As co-founder of Stand Up To Cancer, she has also accelerated funding for groundbreaking cancer research, helping to advance innovative, collaborative approaches to cancer treatment.
She remains at the center of today's most important conversations.

- State Department Correspondent, Fox News Channel, Two-Time NYT Bestselling Author of 'SAVED' and 'Resolute'
Few journalists have faced the kind of recovery Benjamin Hall had to fight through. While reporting on the war in Ukraine in 2022, the veteran correspondent was critically wounded when his vehicle was struck by incoming fire outside Kyiv. Two members of his team were killed. Hall endured multiple surgeries and a long recovery before returning home to his family, a journey he recounts in his bestselling memoir Saved: A War Reporter’s Mission to Make It Home and continues in Resolute, another bestseller. His story has become a powerful example of resilience in the face of unimaginable loss and adversity.
Before that moment, Hall spent years covering conflict around the world. As a Senior Correspondent for Fox News Channel, he has reported from Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, documenting war and diplomacy from the ground rather than a studio. Those years reporting from the front lines gave him a rare perspective on courage and endurance long before he was forced to draw on those qualities himself. He is also the author of the bestselling children’s book Read All About It!
On stage, Hall reflects on survival, recovery, and the mindset required to rebuild after everything changes in an instant. He brings audiences closer to the human realities behind global events while offering a deeply personal perspective on resilience, perseverance, and the determination required to move forward after hardship.
Most people think they understand beauty. Winnie Harlow made a career proving how narrow that definition really is.
A globally recognized supermodel and beauty entrepreneur, Harlow did not just break into fashion. She changed what it looks like. Diagnosed with vitiligo at age four, she turned visibility into power, becoming one of the most recognizable faces in the industry and a defining voice on representation. From her groundbreaking Madame Tussauds figure to global honors like Canada’s Global Citizen Award, her influence moves well beyond the runway.
She is also building what comes next. As the founder of Cay Skin, launched with $4.1 million in funding, Harlow is creating products and a brand that reflect a more inclusive vision of beauty.
On stage, Harlow is sharp, candid, and disarming. She challenges audiences to rethink who sets the standard and why it matters now, leaving them with a clear edge: the brands and leaders who stand out are the ones willing to be seen differently.
