Immediately following the TMA Awards Ceremony, join us for a keynote luncheon like no other, as famed political strategist and New Orleanian James Carville sits down with TMA President Rachael Smiley for an unscripted, candid conversation. Together, they’ll explore Carville’s unique perspective on leadership, strategy, and navigating complexity—delivered with the wit, candor, and storytelling that have made him a household name. This is your chance to experience an engaging exchange that’s as insightful as it is entertaining—New Orleans style. Thursday, October 16, from 12:30–2:00 PM CDT, at the Roosevelt Waldorf Astoria in New Orleans.
Known as “The Ragin’ Cajun,” Carville has shaped political campaigns in the U.S. and abroad and is best known for his role in President Clinton’s 1992 election win. He brings deep experience, dynamic storytelling, and unmistakable charisma to the stage—making this keynote a must-attend event.
This signature luncheon, sponsored by White Oak Commercial Finance, is included with full conference registration.
