IPMA Announces Another Conference Keynote Speaker

Leon Logothetis

It's never too soon to think about your 2018 conference plans. To help you decide, the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association (IPMA) just announced the second keynote speaker for its June 10-14 Costa Mesa, Calif., conference.

After unveiling the name of its first keynote speaker, Scott Burrows, in August, IPMA has announced that Leon Logothetis, global adventurer, motivational speaker, philanthropist and host of the Netflix series "The Kindness Diaries," will be the second keynote speaker.

Logothetis had it all: a prestigious job, money, a home, a beautiful girlfriend and a friendly dog. But he traded it all in to live his dreams. He wanted to feel the magic of the human experience by connecting with people through the language of kindness. This is what prompted him to travel the world relying solely on the kindness and generosity of strangers.

"I have always had a passion for interacting with people," says Logothetis. "I love the camaraderie of making new friends and helping those that are deserving, and I treasure the adventure of travel."

During his six-month global adventure, Logothetis traveled to 20 countries with no food or pre-planned accommodations. He discovered that people are so open to helping those in need; all one must do is open their heart.

For example, in Pittsburgh, he met a homeless man named Tony who had nothing but a bag of clothes. He took Leon in, fed him, gave him a place to stay and protected him through the night. The experience will forever live in Leon's heart. If a man with nothing could give so much from his heart how could he ever repay him? At the conference you'll find out.

Once a broker at a prestigious firm in London, Logothetis boldly quit his job one day after discovering his thirst for exploration had become too much to contain. On his first journey, as host of the hit National Geographic series "Amazing Adventures of a Nobody," Logothetis had to beg, borrow and charm his way across the United States, England and the European continent while traveling on only $5 a day. Since then, Logothetis has become a world-renowned travel expert and TV host. For more information visit: www.leonlogothetis.com.
