Conference Speaker Update

Dennis Hull - Humour & Hockey

Dennis Hull will readily admit to not being anything other than Bobby Hull's brother, as long as you add that he's the younger brother. He's even been known to answer to some asking for Brett Hull's uncle. A self- effacing brother to Bobby and proud uncle, Dennis is a fourteen-year veteran of the National Hockey League, known for his powerful shot, his six selections to the All-Star Game are a testament to his hockey skills. Dennis brings to the speaker's podium a wealth of anecdotes and stories from his many experiences. His understated after-dinner speaking style is his trademark, and he has quickly become one of the most sought after head table guests in the business.

David Chilton - The Wealthy Barber

Dave Chilton is the author of Canada's all-time bestselling book, The Wealthy Barber. His unique combination of knowledge and humour helped to take the intimidation and dryness out of financial planning. His speeches aren't about just money. They're about believing in yourself, overcoming mistakes (many of his are truly hilarious) and, most importantly, they're about perspective - the missing ingredient in many people's lives.
