2024 Keynote Address

Manley’s love of climbing began in college. Invited by a friend to try out a beginner’s rock climb in the hills of Kentucky, he stepped up into the Vertical and was instantly hooked.

He began climbing anywhere and anytime he could. After each adventure, he would reverse-engineer the experience, evaluating what had (or hadn’t) helped him reach the summit.

The lessons he unpacked didn’t just improve his climbing, but his leadership as he helped Build-A-Bear scale from 42 stores to 425 worldwide and increase revenue from $55 Million to $470 Million.

Join Manley Feinberg as he teases the gravity of high-stakes choices amidst life's sheer cliffs at the VIP Awards North America. In a session charged with adrenaline and insight, Manley will share a glimpse of the death-defying adversity that shaped his philosophy of Exponential Commitment™. Brace yourself for a keynote that promises to stretch the boundaries of your resolve and redefine what it means to truly commit in the face of overwhelming odds.

Dare to climb higher – your summit awaits.
