Academy-Award winning actor and producer Matthew McConaughey has joined the lineup. In “A Conversation with Matthew McConaughey,” McConaughey will speak to Leadership & Legacy by exploring some of the deeply personal choices each of us makes that impacts our lasting legacies–how we want our story to be told, the “Greenlights” that lead us on our life path, and what the choice of giving back has meant in his own life. And finally, through the lens of McConaughey’s roles, he’ll look at his characters–how they shaped him, and how he shaped them–and how the choices he made will become part of his legacy.
