Keynote Speaker
NDACo Annual Conference - October 26-28, 2025 at the Bismarck Event Center
To kick off the Conference, attendees will hear a special presentation from Adrianne Haslet during the General Session.
Her inspirational message takes the crowd through her experience as a survivor of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing and her resilience that followed.
She has been on the cover of People and Sports Illustrated, featured on CBS, appeared in her own documentary, The Survivor Diaries with Anderson Cooper on CNN, was named one of Cosmo’s Most Powerful Women, and Bing’s Most Inspirational Women, and has over 16+ million views on her debut TED Talk.
“I refuse to be called a victim. A victim is defined by what happened in their life. I am a survivor, defined by how I live my life.”
— Adrianne Haslet
