Keynotes & General Sessions

Announcing PRIMA's 2026 General Session Line-Up! 

Gloria Mayfield Banks | The Power of Quantum Leap 

Monday, June 8 | 8:00 AM 
Sponsored by 

A true Quantum Leap doesn’t come from chasing something outside of yourself — it comes from mastering the leadership principles that already exist within you.

In this powerful keynote, Gloria Mayfield Banks reframes the idea of a quantum leap as the natural outcome of intentional leadership. When leaders understand, embody, and consistently apply the right principles, growth accelerates — not only for them, but for everyone they influence.

Through her 10-Step Quantum Leap Framework, Gloria breaks down the essential leadership skills that drive clarity, confidence, vision, discipline, and impact. These are not abstract ideas or distant goals — they are practical, learnable behaviors that, when aligned, create momentum, transformation, and exponential results.

In a world where uncertainty is constant and risk is part of the daily landscape, the way we see our story — and the way we tell it — becomes a powerful tool for influence. In this high-energy, humor-filled keynote, Kelly Swanson reveals how story shapes mindset, builds trust, and strengthens connection in the moments that matter most.

Participants will explore two core story tracks:
1. The Inner Story — Mindset & Resilience
2. The Outer Story — Influence & Communication

Get ready to laugh, learn, and leave with the confidence to tell a stronger story — inside and out.

PRIMA’s 2026 Keynote Lunch & Learn brings together leading voices to explore how emerging technologies including artificial intelligence, automation, and digital tools are transforming public risk management. As innovation accelerates, public risk managers are increasingly responsible for identifying, assessing, and mitigating new types of threats that extend beyond traditional liability models.

This panel will provide practical guidance on recognizing technology-driven risks related to workforce dynamics, data governance, operational efficiency, and ethical decision-making. Panelists will discuss strategies to build clear, effective policies that address uncertainty while enabling organizations to leverage innovation responsibly.
