Her story earned Simon Cowell's Golden Buzzer on America's Got Talent and introduced her bold artistry to millions worldwide. In her keynote, Mandy examines a truth every ambitious professional understands: no meaningful goal is achieved alone. She explores what it looks like when the right relationships create resilience during crisis, clarity in transition, and momentum when starting over—and shares concrete strategies for cultivating a community that elevates performance, deepens trust, and enables you to achieve more than you could alone.

She joined the CIA's Counterterrorism Center—often the youngest and only woman in the room—traveling through war zones and black sites to help disrupt global terror networks. She later joined the FBI's Los Angeles Field Office, where she helped dismantle a foreign espionage ring and tackled cybercrime and fraud cases. In her keynote, Walder blends sharp geopolitical analysis with vivid field stories to break down today's emerging threats. You'll leave with a clearer picture of the world we're operating in—and a sharper sense of what it takes to lead through it.  Sponsored by: ![Bank of America - stacked logo](https://conference.naspp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Southwest%20Regional%20Summit/2025%20Southwest%20Regional%20Summit/Bank%20of%20America%20-%20stacked%20logo.png?width=147&height=80&name=Bank%20of%20America%20-%20stacked%20logo.png) --- --- --- ## Our Speakers Data loading, please wait... ![](https://conference.naspp.com/hubfs/2026%20NASPP%20Conference/Dividers/2026%20Microsite%20Footer2.png) ![NASPP Logo-Mark-reverse](https://conference.naspp.com/hubfs/2024%20NASPP%20Conference/NASPP%20Logo-Mark-reverse.svg "NASPP Logo-Mark-reverse") National Association of Stock Plan Professionals [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/NASPP) [Follow us on X](https://twitter.com/NASPP) [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.linkedin.com/company/naspp) [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHcE-O71EYTVtddmYmgAWnw?sub_confirmation=1) [naspp@naspp.com](mailto:naspp@naspp.com)   |   (925) 685-9271 ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "Event", "description" : "The NASPP Annual Conference is the largest gathering in equity compensation — 4 days in Orlando for stock plan administrators, equity plan managers, HR, finance, legal, and C-suite equity professionals.", "endDate" : "2026-10-15", "eventAttendanceMode" : "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "eventStatus" : "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location" : { "@type" : "Place", "address" : { "@type" : "PostalAddress", "addressCountry" : "US", "addressLocality" : "Orlando", "addressRegion" : "FL" }, "name" : "Orlando Conference Venue" }, "name" : "NASPP Annual Conference 2026", "organizer" : { "@type" : "Organization", "name" : "NASPP — National Association of Stock Plan Professionals", "sameAs" : [ "https://www.linkedin.com/company/naspp", "https://www.naspp.com" ], "url" : "https://www.naspp.com" }, "startDate" : "2026-10-12", "url" : "https://conference.naspp.com/" } ``` ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "Organization", "description" : "The largest and most established professional association dedicated exclusively to equity compensation, serving professionals since 1992.", "name" : "NASPP — National Association of Stock Plan Professionals", "sameAs" : [ "https://www.linkedin.com/company/naspp", "https://www.naspp.com" ], "url" : "https://www.naspp.com" } ``` ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "FAQPage", "mainEntity" : [ { "@type" : "Question", "acceptedAnswer" : { "@type" : "Answer", "text" : "The 2026 NASPP Annual Conference is October 12–15, 2026 in Orlando, Florida." }, "name" : "When and where is the 2026 NASPP Annual Conference?" }, { "@type" : "Question", "acceptedAnswer" : { "@type" : "Answer", "text" : "The NASPP Annual Conference is designed for equity compensation professionals at public and private companies — including stock plan administrators, equity plan managers, HR leaders, finance and accounting teams, legal and compliance staff, and C-suite executives involved in equity strategy." }, "name" : "Who should attend the NASPP Annual Conference?" }, { "@type" : "Question", "acceptedAnswer" : { "@type" : "Answer", "text" : "Attendees can earn CEP qualifying hours, CPE credits, and CLE credit at the NASPP Annual Conference." }, "name" : "What continuing education credits are available?" }, { "@type" : "Question", "acceptedAnswer" : { "@type" : "Answer", "text" : "The National Association of Stock Plan Professionals (NASPP) is the largest and most established professional association dedicated exclusively to equity compensation, serving professionals since 1992." }, "name" : "What is the NASPP?" } ] } ```
