Experienced entertainer Marie Osmond will open this year’s American Gem Society[2] (AGS) Conclave[3] on April 23, bringing the talents she has displayed as a singer, talk show host, dancer, actor, entrepreneur, and public speaker to Nashville, Tenn.

Osmond has garnered numerous accolades throughout her 50-year career, including three New York Times bestselling books and a Country Music Association (CMA) Award. She is also recognized as co-founder of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals[4].

Magician and football player Jon Dorenbos will also deliver a keynote, during breakfast on April 24. He combines sleight-of-hand magic with speeches focused on overcoming adversity. Dorenbos has also played for the Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans, and Philadelphia Eagles as well as his current team, the New Orleans Saints.

Mike Rayburn will be the Conclave’s final keynote speaker on April 25. The eight-time Carnegie Hall headliner is known for his ability to link artistic principles to business, delivering sound advice through mediums of guitar and comedy.

Joel Zeff is also returning as MC and featured speaker for his third straight year, continuing the success that began at his first Conclave in 2015.

“We are so excited about this lineup, and there is more great news to follow in the upcoming weeks,” said Katherine Bodoh, CEO of AGS and AGS Laboratories[5]. “Conclave is known for its talented lineup of sought-after speakers, and this year is no exception.”
