PRESS RELEASE — ORANGE, California, April 21, 2023 — Alliance of Channel Women, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of female channel leaders in technology, announced today that Dr. Merritt Moore, lauded as the “Quantum Ballerina,” will deliver the keynote address at its ACWConnect Live! networking event at the  Channel Partners Conference & Expo in Las Vegas.

ACWConnect Live! will be held from 4-7 p.m., May 1, on the show’s main stage, Level 2, Ballroom F at The Venetian. ACW will “Celebrate Your Sparkle” with programming focused on empowerment, self-discovery and authenticity.

The event’s keynote speaker Dr. Merritt Moore defies convention, pursuing and excelling in both science and art careers. She is a quantum physicist with degrees from Harvard and Oxford and a professional ballet dancer performing with some of the most prestigious companies in the world, including Boston Ballet and English National Ballet.

The Quantum Ballerina, Dr. Merritt Moore, is one of than 150 channel visionaries and experts speaking at the Channel Partners Conference & Expo. The event also features more than 375 ICT companies in the massive expo hall. Register now for the world’s largest independent channel event, May 1-4, at the Venetian in Las Vegas.

During the pandemic, Moore combined her passions for computing and dance to program and dance with robots – a marriage of science and art that she has taken on tour worldwide. She is a Forbes 30 under 30 honoree and also was selected as one of 12 candidates to compete on the BBC’s “Astronauts: Do You Have What It Takes?” reality show.

In her keynote address, Dr. Moore will share how she followed her dreams to realize her unconventional career path, how she’s risen to the top in two seemingly opposite pursuits and what lessons she can share for staying motivated and achieving peak performance.

The ACWConnect Live! event also will feature ACW’s signature networking reception and engaging programming, such as:

  • Welcoming remarks from ACW President Cassie Jeppson, Director of North America Channel Programs at Lenovo
