Each year, WCI brings in a Celebrity Keynote Speaker who sets the tone for the conference, provides meaningful and inspirational messages, and offers practical tools for personal and professional development.
WCI is honored to have Mark Schulman as our Celebrity Keynote Speaker!
Meet Mark Schulman
Mark is a first-call drummer known for his work with legends like P!NK, Cher, Billy Idol, Foreigner, Stevie Nicks and many other world-class performers. Mark combines insider rockstar stories, thrilling drum sequences, and actionable attitude techniques that show people how to harness their own rockstar DNA.
“When someone is a top performer in their field, or we see a team of top performers, people often refer to them as rockstars. But imagine what your team can learn about managing performance, energy, sustainability, and mental fitness from REAL rockstars? As someone who has played with some of the greatest pop and rock stars in the world for 32 years as their drummer, I have analyzed and studied the band dynamic relentlessly. Rockstar performers all share traits that got us to the top and KEEP us there.” – Mark Schulman
Joining the WCI Palooza Lineup

“WCI wanted to find a speaker who fits into our conference theme, WCI Palooza – The Comp Stars Are All Here, and who will energize and inspire our attendees to achieve new heights; and we found it in Mark. I think our attendees will come away with a new level of confidence in what they can perform after they hear Mark share the secretes of rockstar performance.”
– Andrew Sabolic, WCI’s Executive Director
Mark’s keynote will be part of the Opening Session on Monday, August 18. Don’t miss it!
