FEATURED GUEST SPEAKERS:
Named by Fortune Magazine as a Top 50 World’s Greatest Leaders, a recipient of the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian of the Year Award and listed as one of the world’s most influential creative people by The Creativity 50’s, Mick Ebeling has sparked a movement of pragmatic, inspirational innovation. As a career producer and filmmaker and now Founder and CEO of Not Impossible, Mick has dedicated his life to tapping into the power of innovation, technology, and story to change the world.
Mick’s mantra of “commit, then figure it out” allows for a unique problem-solving approach, bringing together a community of passionate and talented engineers, doers, makers, idea generators and storytellers to create solutions that better the world. Partnering with a wide array of companies and organizations, Ebeling not only pushes the bar on innovation, he also shares the emotionally resonating story of doing so.
Ebeling’s book, Not Impossible: Do What Can't Be Done, recounts his life experiences that led to the founding of Not Impossible. Published in several languages, the book was hailed as “a true testament to the power of determination [...] Bursting with optimism and new ideas,” by Deepak Chopra.
Not Impossible is one of a very select few to win Time Magazine’s Top Invention of the Year three times as well as being named winner of Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas twice. Named one of WIRED Magazine’s Agents of Change, a two-time SXSW Innovation of the Year award winner, a three-time Tribeca Disruptor Awards recipient, a fellow with The Nantucket Project, and recipient of every major creative and advertising award, Ebeling is on a mission to provide “Technology for the Sake of Humanity.”
Meg Kane
As the Host City Executive for Philadelphia Soccer 2026, Meg Kane is the driving force behind bringing the FIFA World Cup to the City of Brotherly Love. If that sounds like a big job, it is - but it's just one entry in her impressive playbook.
This is the same talented strategist who helped coordinate Pope Francis's historic visit to Philadelphia in 2015. When she's not orchestrating world-class events, Meg runs Signature 57, a strategic communications firm where she's become the go-to expert for tourism, arts, and culture in Philadelphia. Her client list reads like a who's who of the city's most beloved institutions.
A proud alumna of La Salle University, Meg's work has earned her some remarkable recognition, including the Benemerenti Medal from Pope Francis and a place on the Philadelphia Business Journal's Power 100.
In 2026, while you're enjoying World Cup matches at Lincoln Financial Field or living it up at the 40-day Fan Fest, remember: it all happened because Meg Kane knows how to turn "impossible" into a "done deal."

The fun continues at the After Party, immediately following the event at Arnold's.
