Theme: Fear of the Unknown – Step into the unknown and discover what’s waiting on the other side of fear.

We spend so much of our lives hoping and praying for the things we want to come true—the new job, the new house, the right relationship, or little Jimmy getting accepted into your alma mater. But when those moments come closer, another question often shows up: What’s next?

One of the biggest and most misunderstood fears we face is the fear of the unknown. At this Positivity Summit, we will jump into the fire—not literally—and talk about how to move through that fear, face uncertainty with courage, and discover what is waiting on the other side.

This October, Embrace ​ the unknown.

• TESTIMONIALS •

"Cornell's Positivity Summits are unlike most event experiences. My favorite part, beyond the awesome speakers, is getting to actually know the people who are attending the event. Although it's definitely not touted as a "networking" event, Cornell facilitates a variety of exercises throughout the full day—you could call them "ice breakers" that allow people to let their guard down and have real, vulnerable conversations. I've met some awesome people who I still to this day connect with. If you're on your own personal development journey and looking to expand your network and be inspired, definitely grab a ticket!" Bridget Aileen Sicsko Exalted Publishing House "The diverse lineup of speakers across the various Positivity Summits brought a wealth of insights and perspectives, making each event a source of inspiration and personal growth.
What stands out to me is the genuine connection you and your team establish with the audience. The messages shared are not just motivational; they resonate with me on a personal level, sparking a renewed sense of purpose and drive. The impact of the Positivity Summits continues to ripple through my life, influencing my mindset and approach in profound ways." Larry Hayes Positivity Summit Participant “The Positivity Summit was one of the best experiences I have been a part of. A group of dynamic and diverse individuals that come together in order to make their lives and this world a better place. Make the time. Make an impact.” Heather Glogolich Street Cop Instructor "Cornell's Positivity summits are great, high-energy, connected events, but more than that, they can be transformational. Cornell's unique blend of motivation, positivity, community, and raw honesty makes these summits very special. Whilst Cornell brings in speakers to share stories, this is NOT sage-on-the-sage. These are speakers that share deep vulnerability, humble, and authentic and they are also part of the summit. The learning, insight, and connectivity of these events is truly rare and leaves you feeling not only hopeful but fully alive and ready to make a dent in your respective context." Garry Turner Product/Service “The Positivity Summit is an event you must attend! I have been an attendee at almost all of them when they have been in NJ or NY. It’s now a non negotiable for me and something I look forward to every year. It’s a day that you will definitely take something from and you will absolutely have no regrets going!” Amy Munoz Positivity Summit Participant Witness it first hand Tickets Don’t just take our word for it “
