Crafting Communications That Move People
Wednesday, November 11, 2026
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Maverick Innovation Gateway
Session Description
Great communication does more than share information. It creates understanding, builds trust and inspires people to act. For entrepreneurs, the ability to communicate clearly and authentically can make the difference between an idea that gets overlooked and one that earns attention, support and momentum.
Join Jennifer Spaude, Founder and CEO of Spaude Consulting, for a practical and engaging session on how entrepreneurs, students and emerging leaders can communicate with greater impact. You’ll learn how clarity, consistency and authenticity strengthen every message; how to understand and adapt to different audiences; and how to tell stories that make information memorable and meaningful.
The session will also explore how AI can help generate ideas, sharpen messages and improve efficiency while reinforcing that technology is an amplifier, not a replacement for human judgment, experience and authentic connection.
