2021 Keynote Speakers
Tyson Dever
Tyson Dever was waiting to turn left when a 33-ton cement mixer, driven by a distracted driver, ran over his sports car. The near-death experience left him paralyzed from the waist down but highlighted his incredible passion for life and refusal to be held back by any obstacle. Through an engaging, relevant, and often funny presentation, Tyson helps students, educators and corporate teams move beyond their limitations. It's not a matter of if change will happen - it's when. Let Tyson be your guide as you discover how attitude, choice and action can turn your failures and setbacks into a pathway toward success!

UMC NEIDS - Nurses Educating on Illicit Drugs & Synthetics
University Medical Center’s Nurses Educating on Illegal Drugs & Synthetics (NEIDS) is an outreach group of registered nurses that believe synthetic marijuana and other illegal drugs kill and harm too many of our fellow human beings. We are emergency nurses and nurse educators from Lubbock, Texas, whose mission is to provide education to the public on the health risks and hazards of the use of synthetic marijuana and other harmful drugs through public service announcements, focused educational offerings to school age children, point of care education, local collations against synthetic marijuana, and support new or revised legislation of local and state laws to halt the sale, distribution, and the manufacturing of these synthetic compounds and illegal drugs.
