Press release submitted on behalf of PLASTICS.
Forbes-recognized leadership expert to deliver interactive session on confidence, influence and career growth at the largest plastics trade show in the Americas.
The Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) today announced Selena Rezvani, a nationally recognized leadership expert and bestselling author, as the keynote speaker for the Women in Plastics Breakfast at NPE: The Plastics Show. NPE2027 will take place May 3-7, 2027, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. The Women in Plastics Breakfast will be held on Tuesday, May 4, 2027.
The Women in Plastics Breakfast, sponsored by LyondellBasell, will bring together professionals from across the plastics industry for a morning of networking, career development and practical leadership insights. Rezvani will lead a session designed to build attendees’ confidence to amplify their ideas in the workplace.
Deviating from a traditional keynote format, the interactive session will be shaped by attendees themselves. A pre-event survey will allow attendees to identify workplace challenges and leadership topics most relevant to their careers. Rezvani will then structure the discussion around top priorities and topics.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Forbes-recognized Selena Rezvani as the keynote speaker for a morning of growth,” said Angela Mealy, Executive Director of NPE. “She’ll share expert tools to help attendees lead with influence and amplify their ideas. Everyone who attends will also take home a copy of Quick Confidence, her bestselling book.”
Named by Forbes as “the premier expert on advocating for yourself at work,” Rezvani is a leading consultant, speaker, and author specializing in women’s leadership and self-advocacy. She has presented to organizations including Microsoft, Harvard University, LinkedIn, PwC and the Society of Women Engineers. She is the author of several bestsellers, including Quick Confidence, a Wall Street Journal bestseller, and Quick Leadership, a USA Today bestseller. Her 25 LinkedIn Learning courses have reached more than a million learners.
