Keynote Addresses

Brian "Fox" Ellis   Keynote Presentations • Workshops • Performances   Since 1980, Brian “Fox” Ellis, storyteller, author and educator, has been touring the world collecting and telling stories. He has been a keynote speaker and/or featured workshop presenter at hundreds of conferences ranging from The International Wetlands Conservation Conference to the National Association of Gifted Educators Conference. His presentations are always custom tailored with a mix of pedagogy and practice, humor and inspiration. For this reason many of the state educational conferences invite him back on a regular basis! He has also published more than a dozen books, written 20 musical theatre productions and is a frequent contributor to a wide range of magazines including trade journals, parenting, academic and general interest magazines. Know that Fox comes to your conference eager to work: willing to present break-out sessions that reinforce his keynote, to share stories at an informal late-night for storytellers, and to autograph books at your sales booth. His goal is to do whatever he can to make your conference a success!   Please follow the links to read a list of specific Keynote Addresses and Workshops for different conferences.   Presentations for: Early Childhood Educators Reading Teachers Teachers of English Science Teachers Social Studies and History Teachers   Referrals and Recommendations   A PARTIAL LIST OF RECENT CONFERENCES:   EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCES: National Science Teachers Association National Association of Gifted Educators National Association of Biology Teachers National Association for the Education of Young Children Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Great Plains Reading Teachers Associations Wisconsin, Ohio, Iowa, Colorado, and Nebraska Science Teachers Associations Montana, Indiana, Alabama, New Jersey, Florida, and Midwest Environmental Education Associations, Great Lakes Council of Social Studies, Iowa, and Illinois Councils of Social Studies, Illinois Teachers of English Europeon Librarians Alliance England’s YMCA Staff Training National Storytelling Association, New England, Northlands, and Mid-Atlantic Storytelling Associations Ohio Catholic Educators National Ag in the Classroom Conference   SCIENCE CONFERENCES: International Wetlands Conservation Conference The American Association for the Advancement of Science Annual Meeting National Non-Point Source Pollution Conference Texas Project Wet: Make A Splash Illinois Earth Stewardship Day North American Prairie Restoration Conference Science and Religion: A Joint Conference sponsored by the World Conference of Churches and United Nations   GENERAL CONFERENCES: International Clown Convention National Rabbit Breeders Association North American Plymouth Owners Michigan Heating and Air Conditioning Association Illinois Association of Township Officials Great Rivers Regional Tourism Whatever the theme of your conference Fox can custom tailor a program to educate and inspire your participants.
