He advises world leaders and policymakers on issues including youth unemployment and digital government. He is a member of the European Roundtable of Industrialists and the United States Business Council. McDermott's personal story of losing his eye in an accident has helped him focus his vision on helping others.

Mildenhall, named one of the world's most influential CMOs by Forbes, has worked with some of the largest brands in the world, including Coca-Cola, Audi, Smirnoff, General Motors, Guinness, and PlayStation. He now owns his own company, 21^st Century Brand, and is a proponent of purposeful branding, connecting with consumers in a meaningful way, and authentically building community.

Flo Rida, whose hits include "Low" and "Right Round," will perform at the Marketing Nation Party, a private concert open only to registered conference attendees. Flo Rida credits music with helping him stay focused on his path to securing a deal with Atlantic Records in 2006. Under his own management company, Strong Arm, he has produced chart-topping songs including "Whistle," and "My House." He established his nonprofit foundation, "Big Dreams for Kids," to inspire future leaders from his home state of Florida.
