Holly Anne Mitchell
Holly Anne Mitchell is a speaker, coach, author and hypnotist in the dental industry. My life can be summed up in two words: post-traumatic growth. I moved to New York City from rural Florida at the age of 18 with dreams of Broadway. From actress, to homeless, to dental C-suite, to struggling entrepreneur, after a crisis of burnout, I found my way to hypnosis and neuro linguistic programming, which forever changed my brain, and my life. This was the catalyst to start my dental consulting firm and virtual conference.
I train dentists and their teams in mental health first aid, helping practices become more trauma aware, prevent suicide, burnout, and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression with simple tools based in practical neuroscience. I regulate my own nervous system through songwriting, self-hypnosis, poetry, boxing, yoga, and long-distance running.

Special Presentation: Harold Garde
American painter and printmaker Harold Garde, whose extraordinary achievements in Abstract and Figurative Expressionism, from the 1950s onwards, make a significant yet under-recognized contribution to Post-War American art.
His seven-decade career spans the New York Abstract Expressionists’ later generation of the 1950s – 1960s; turns increasingly towards gestural abstraction into the figurative, mythic possibilities of Neo-Expressionism of the 1980s – 1990s; and remains vitally inventive to present day.
Harold Garde’s major bodies of work in painting, drawing, and prints reveal his early and vigorous engagement with Abstract Expressionism as well as the persistent innovation of his mature artistic experimentation.
