We have worked to curate exceptional presentations for TEDxPSU over the past several years. Now, we want to connect local speakers with your organization or group at your convenience. Therefore, we created The State College Speakers Bureau to serve as a community resource of selected presenters available to speak on various topics. We want to make it easy for you to find and secure a proven speaker for your next event.

Adelene Holmes Keeler Smith's journey is as inspiring as it is unique. With a background in architecture/interiors/fashion design and recipient of 18 ASID Awards for Excellence, her professional work has been nationally televised and featured in leading publications. However, her most impactful 'renovation project' has been a personal, bariatric journey. In 2018, teetering 290+ pounds on a 5-foot frame, Addie designed a blueprint plan loosing 150 pounds for better health and agility. As a keynote speaker, she has shared her story of challenge, resilience, and encouragement with the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Bari-solutions National Conference, Pennsylvania Governor's School of the Arts, and Palm Beach and State College Rotary Clubs. In addition, Addie's family has played a pivitol role in shaping Happy Valley into what it is today.
