GII Symposium 2026

Max has been having a ball giving Keynotes, Workshops and now doing one-on-one Coaching using what we all know as one of the most exhilarating forces in business today - improv. From the Federal Reserve Bank (pls ask her what it was like to get 250 Fed Execs from all 12 Banks doing improv exercises - even she couldn't believe it) to Papyrus and scores of profits and non-profits. Max spent 15 years on the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade, was a weekly financial commentator/guest on NPR's "Marketplace," and hosted two other financial radio shows. She was also a student of 2nd City Chicago Improv Lab, performing regularly in whatever town she lived in. Her first AIN Conference was 2003 Toronto. It was call "Improv in Business" then. It's thrilling to see how it's grown!
