Keynote Speaker: Andy DeMeo

Andy is the creator and host of Granite Goodness, a solutions-journalism project celebrating optimism, progress, and problem-solving across New England, proudly hosted in New Hampshire. 

A lifelong Granite Stater, Andy's work has garnered regional acclaim - he was named Stay Work Play New Hampshire's Young Person of the Year (2025), selected as a Seacoast 10 to Watch winner (2025), and received UNH's Alumni Award for Graduates of the Last Decade (2025). He also co-hosted TEDx Portsmouth 2025, the largest TEDx event in New England. 

When he's not talking to optimists around New England, Andy can be found doing homesteading projects with his nine chickens, two dogs, and one wife on their farm in northern New Hampshire.
