We’re thrilled to announce Mark Schulman as the November speaker for the 2026 BCA Speaker Series and the final installment of this year’s series.
Join us on November 19 at the Kimmel Center for an evening with a speaker who brings a truly unique perspective on performance, leadership, resilience, and the power of attitude.
Mark Schulman is a world-class drummer, author, keynote speaker, and performance expert who has spent more than three decades performing on some of the biggest stages in the world. His career has included touring and recording with legendary artists including P!NK, Billy Idol, Cher, Foreigner, and Stevie Nicks, as well as performing at major events and on some of the most recognizable stages in entertainment.
But Mark’s story is about much more than music.
After decades of performing under pressure and working alongside some of the world’s most successful artists, Mark has transformed those experiences into a dynamic approach to leadership and personal and professional performance. His presentations explore what it takes to show up with confidence, adapt to challenges, engage others, and perform at your best when it matters most.
Mark’s signature presentations combine storytelling, audience interaction, live drumming, and lessons from his years on the road. Rather than simply talking about performance, he brings his experience directly to the stage and gives audiences an opportunity to experience his message firsthand.
One of the central ideas behind Mark’s work is his Attitude Equation: ATTITUDE × BEHAVIOR = CONSEQUENCE. His message focuses on the idea that while we can’t always control what happens around us, we can influence how we respond—and that our attitude affects our behavior, our interactions, and ultimately the results we create.
Mark is also the author of Conquering Life’s Stage Fright and The Attitude Equation, where he expands on his approach to confidence, resilience, performance, and personal growth.
For the BCA community, this promises to be a memorable way to close out an exciting year of speakers. Whether you know Mark from his work behind the drum kit or are discovering his work as a speaker for the first time, his combination of real-world experience, practical insights, humor, and high-energy performance makes this an event you won’t want to miss.
We invite you to join us on November 19 at the Kimmel Center as we bring the 2026 BCA Speaker Series to a close with Mark Schulman.
Save the date, bring your energy and a guest, and get ready for an evening that will leave you thinking differently about how you show up, perform, and make an impact.
