About The Conference Speakers

Craig Miller

Keynote Speaker
Award winning author, speaker, and photographer featured in the life-changing documentary The S Word.
​
At twenty-years-old, Craig Miller attempted to end his own life. He sat on the edge of a rented bed and swallowed two hundred and fifty pills. He lay back and closed his eyes, never imagining that a note he wrote to himself fourteen years earlier would be what would save his life. That note, written across the creases of a tear stained paper, read: "Don't ever forget how this feels."
