Zach Buchanan - Featured Keynote Speaker
A car salesman, teacher, and motivational speaker walk into a room. This may sound like the start to a bad joke, but it’s actually the start of Zach Buchanan’s story. He is a native Tennessean and lives in Knoxville with his wife, Julie. Zach loves combining his experience as a student member in TSA, SkillsUSA, and DECA to help students find their passions and interests. Having visited 45 of the 50 states, he knows that “Rocky Top” will always be “home sweet home” to him. He is excited to spread his passion and enthusiasm to help students realize their passions.
Conference Dress Code
All attendees must wear business casual attire, including a polo-style or oxford-style shirt, khaki pants, and casual shoes. All shirts must be neatly tucked in. No jeans or gym shoes are permitted. Business professional attire is certainly acceptable as well.
What To Bring
All students and advisers will need to bring a writing pad or notebook, along with a pen or pencil, to take notes and jot down new ideas. Every student and advisor will also need to bring a winning attitude and a desire to network with other ambitious leaders in their area.
