Opening Keynote

Kate DiLeo

CEO + Brand Architect

Transforming StoryTELLING into StorySELLING

Storytelling is a powerful tool for sales and marketing professionals, but it can only take you so far if you aren’t delivering the right information, at the right time, to the right people. In this keynote presentation, Kate DiLeo will guide attendees on how to amplify their sales and marketing messaging capabilities beyond just storytelling capabilities. They will know how to have conversations that truly convert.

It’s time to debunk outdated branding myths and learn how to build a brand that is the path of least resistance to revenue. Kate will clarify how to build and deploy brand messaging to get more prospects to the table, more users who click, and more customers who buy, as well as outline the top prospecting techniques that surgically enable dealers to get in front of more of the right buyers at the right time.

Want to dive deeper and maximize your results?

We're offering a special 90-minute virtual workshop, "Build YOUR Organization’s Brand Trifecta Messaging to Have Conversations That CONVERT!", July 8, 2025 with Kate Dileo. Designed to maximize your understanding and results, this session will build on key principles from her keynote while offering fresh insights for anyone looking to elevate their branding game.

You can either bundle with your ELEVATE registration or purchase separately. This workshop is open to anyone which makes it perfect for team members who cannot attend the conference. Kate’s ELEVATE keynote recording will be available in the member portal after the event, ensuring everyone can fully engage with her insights and strategies. Don’t miss this chance to take your branding to the next level!
