Catch Him If You Can! Frank Abagnale Speaking at our K12 Summit


We recently had Frank Abagnale, former con artist extraordinaire whose crimes inspired the memoir and movie Catch Me If You Can, as the opening Keynote speaker at the co-located K12 Facilities Summit and K12 Technology Summit on October 18th, 2009 in Austin, TX.

When we first announced Frank Abagnale as the Opening Dinner Speaker we had a number of people questioning why we invited a convicted criminal to speak. Well in just over 30 years, Frank Abagnale has gone from a man in hiding to a man very much in the public eye. At the summit he took our audience on a hilarious and poignant journey of his time as a criminal being pursued, but the message was about his personal transformation. His story is a true morality tale that takes you from the depths of despair to the triumph of personal redemption.

Frank actually encouraged us to record his speech...so we are happy to share it with you here.
