KEYNOTE  SPEAKER



Eric LeMarque, a native of Los Angeles, California, is an American-French author, was a member of the  French National Ice Hockey Team competing in 1994 Winter Olympics and played professional ice hockey with NHL Boston Bruins at the age of 17. On February 6, 2004,  LeMarque became trapped in the Sierra Nevada Mountains wilderness of Mammoth Mountain resort. He survived for eight days by  living in a makeshift igloo and eating pine nuts and cedar.  In 2017 Eric's extraordinary tale of survival, characterized by record-setting resilience and unwavering determination, became the inspiration for the book and the feature film "6 Below – Miracle on the Mountain," starring Josh Hartnett.

Eric will share the gripping narrative of losing his legs to frostbite and confronting death, hell, and the grave.  Prepare to be captivated by his inspirational story, a testament to the indomitable human spirit  and the ability to triumph over adversity. Eric's unwavering willpower to never quit or fail, coupled with his capacity to rise above his greatest fears, offers a profound exploration of overcoming challenges and embracing change. As you delve into his experience, become a conduit for miracles, emerge  invigorated, and equip yourself to face life's challenges without compromise.
