Keynote Speaker - Nexus Pop Culture Convention - Aug 8 & 9, 2020 

Nexus Con is a youth-orientated event aimed at both bringing people together and presenting diverse and educational topics. Stuart contributed two highly informative panels, with his presentation on Constructed Languages gaining a lot of highly positive feedback from the audience. As the host for Stuart's panels, I found him very professional and able to adapt easily on the fly for any comments and questions I had for him. His passion and enthusiasm are able to bring his presentations to life in a way that engages the audience and inspires interest in the topic.
