Leave with clarity—and ideas you’ll be ready to bring to life the moment in your own home.

About Marc AdelmanFor more than two decades, Adelman has worked at the intersection of media, politics, philanthropy, and culture, advising leaders and organizations on how to expand their reach and influence. As the founder of Adelmania Consulting, he has collaborated with corporations, nonprofits, and public figures to create strategic moments that connect ideas with audiences. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid once referred to Adelman as his “court jester,” a reflection of Adelman’s rare ability to operate comfortably in serious rooms while keeping conversations candid, human, and alive—bridging worlds that do not naturally meet.
