Trevor Noah is working on education projects and creating future opportunities for young people in his native South Africa through his Trevor Noah Foundation.
Comedian, podcaster, and author Trevor Noah will deliver Convening Leaders’ closing keynote, focusing on how resilience, global change, and storytelling inspire personal and professional growth. His life story, as detailed in his New York Times bestselling memoir Born a Crime, illustrates the benefits of embracing change to live outside your comfort zone, a timely topic for this year’s education program.
Noah currently hosts the “What Now?” podcast, which blends celebrity interviews with deep dives into the news with his team of writers. He also has helmed the Grammy Awards five years running — and has racked up three nominations himself.
