Carey Lohrenz Short Keynote Demo  

As the first female F-14 Tomcat fighter pilot in the U.S. Navy, Carey Lohrenz is used to working in fast-moving, dynamic environments where inconsistent execution can bring catastrophic results. These challenges aren’t that different from what rental businesses face: Markets change, customer needs evolve, and you have to adapt quickly to survive.

During this inspiring keynote session, Lohrenz will share her fascinating experiences operating in one of the world’s most challenging environments — an aircraft carrier. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind opportunity to take away leadership insights that will help your team triumph in this high-risk, time-crunched world.

A live-streaming option is planned for exhibitors and attendees who have purchased a full registration in the event that attendance exceeds available seating, as well as for those who aren’t comfortable attending in person.

Indulge in a little themed fun with vintage props and paparazzi on the backdrop of Las Vegas' Rat Pack Cover band, along with opportunities for networking as you help to raise funds for ARA’s political action committee.
