Keynote speaker - William Shatner
William Shatner's career spans over 70 years as an award-winning actor, director, producer, writer, and recording artist. Shatner gained worldwide fame for his portrayal of "Captain James T. Kirk" in the original Star Trek television series and feature films. Along with his acting achievements, he is the author of nearly 30 best-selling books in both fiction and non-fiction. His ability to transcend genres and mediums demonstrates a rare blend of talent and versatility. Shatner continues to act, write, produce, and direct while still making time for his charitable work.
During the Plenary, Dr. Cronin will join William Shatner on stage for a discussion about his extraordinary journey through life, his “Star Trek” and Hollywood adventures, and his trip to outer space.
