Keynote Speaker

Noland Arbaugh

Noland Arbaugh is a globally recognized speaker, college student, and pioneer at the intersection of neuroscience and technology.

 

After a diving accident left him paralyzed from the shoulders down, Noland made history in January 2024 as the first human recipient of Neuralink’s brain-computer interface, a breakthrough technology that allows him to control digital devices using only his thoughts.

 

Since then, he has become a compelling voice on human-machine integration, resilience, purpose, and the ethical future of emerging technologies, sharing his story on major platforms and at events worldwide.

 

Noland blends personal experience with insight on faith, innovation, and human potential, inspiring audiences to rethink what is possible when courage meets cutting-edge science.
