Visiting Speakers.
Keynote: Jenna Johnson is a political reporter at The Washington Post who covers the White House and the political movement that President Trump sparked. She spent more than a year writing about Trump’s presidential campaign, traveling to 35 states to attend more than 170 political rallies and interview hundreds of Trump supporters. Jenna has worked at the Post for nearly 10 years and previously covered Maryland politics, higher education, local news and a number of breaking news stories, including the Aurora movie theater shooting, the Boston bombings and the trial of Jerry Sandusky. She grew up in Omaha and graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, although her parents now live in rural Iowa where they own two weekly newspapers.
Presenters: Matt Pearl, Ann Gerhart, Matt Eich, Kirk Siegler, Ellen Mayer, Lam Thuy Vo, Ben Connors, Lindsay Claiborn and Fabi Reyna. More on presenters…
