"Opening General Session Keynote"

Bio

Four-time Olympian and three-time world championship medalist Chaunte Lowe will deliver the opening keynote address on Wednesday, October 22, during the Opening General Session sponsored by Corteva AgriSciences. Lowe, who holds both indoor and outdoor women's high jump American records, will share her powerful story of conquering insurmountable odds, including her triumphant battle against breast cancer. Lowe's story of determination and resilience perfectly aligns with the values that define the pest management industry. Her journey from childhood dreams to Olympic glory, combined with her courage in facing life's greatest challenges, will inspire attendees to reach new heights in their own careers and businesses. At just 20 years old, Lowe transformed her California dreams into Olympic reality, becoming a force to be reckoned with through pure determination and grit. Her record-breaking jumps and championship medals are testament to her philosophy of not just defying gravity, but rewriting the rules entirely.
