2026 Keynote: Jane Pauley on Reimagining the Rest of Your Life

What if the next chapter is your most interesting one yet? In this uplifting conversation, Emmy-winning journalist and bestselling author Jane Pauley invites you to see reinvention not as a risk, but as an opportunity. True to Road Scholar’s spirit, Jane explores curiosity as a lifelong practice, sharing stories from decades of conversations with remarkable people and the “learning adventures” that changed how she sees the world. With the candor and warmth that have made her one of America’s most trusted voices, Jane reflects on the pivotal moments that shaped her extraordinary career, the advice she’d give her younger self and the mindset that helped her navigate profound changes in the world of media — and in life — with grace.
