GREATER DES MOINES PARTNERSHIP ANNUAL DINNER SPEAKER ANNOUNCED

GREATER DES MOINES, Iowa, Nov. 20, 2024 /CNW/ -- The Greater Des Moines Partnership has announced that its 2025 Annual Dinner will feature keynote speaker bestselling business author Dan Heath. The Annual Dinner will take place on Thursday, Jan. 23, 2025 at the Community Choice Credit Union Convention Center.

Heath is the #1 New York Times bestselling author (or co-author) of six beloved business books, including "Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard," "Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die," and "The Power of Moments: Why Certain Experiences Have Extraordinary Impact." His books have been translated into 35 languages and have sold over 4 million copies worldwide. His writing honors include the OWL award for Best Business Book of the Year and accolades from Amazon and Apple. Heath hosts an award-winning podcast called What It's Like to Be… In every episode, he interviews someone from a different profession: a mystery novelist, a couples therapist, a rancher and more. It landed on Apple's ranking of the Top 50 Society & Culture podcasts.

Heath's latest book, "Reset: How to Change What's Not Working" will be released in January.
