Former Arkansas Governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee will headline the American Gem Society‘s annual conclave at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix on April 24-27.
 
JCK senior editor Rob Bates will emcee the event. Keynote speakers include Huckabee; Jim Stengel, former global marketing officer of Proctor & Gamble; and Sally Hogshead, best-selling author of Fascinate!.
 
Also addressing attendees are Dave Mitchell, founder of the Leadership Difference; Jason Young, author and consultant; and Louie Gravance, speaker and consultant.
 
“The theme for the 2013 Conclave is ‘Above and Beyond,’” Ruth Batson, the executive director and CEO of the American Gem Society, said in a statement. “We wanted the caliber of speakers, and our emcee, to reflect the theme. We think we hit another home run this year.”
