Smith is set to speak on the ripple effect of servant leadership, how leaders can rise to the occasion, and managing C-suite challenges at this year’s event, which is set for Nov. 28-30, 2023, at the Fort Lauderdale Marriot Harbor Beach Resort & Spa in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

“We’re thrilled to welcome DeMaurice Smith to the AEM Annual Conference this year, as he brings a uniquely valuable perspective on leadership, taking on challenges and opportunities and driving organizational success,” said AEM Education Programs Director Helen Horner.

Smith was the unanimous choice when he was elected as the Executive Director of the NFLPA. In his role, he has negotiated two comprehensive collective bargaining agreements and is currently the longest serving executive director of a major sport union.
