We’re closing the 2026 BCA Speaker Series with some serious energy.
On November 19, BCA welcomes Mark Schulman to the Kimmel Center—world-class drummer, author, performance expert, and one of the most dynamic keynote speakers working today.
For more than three decades, Mark has performed on some of the biggest stages in the world alongside artists including P!NK, Billy Idol, Cher, Foreigner, and Stevie Nicks. But what makes his story so compelling isn’t simply who he has played with. It’s what those years at the highest level of performance taught him about pressure, preparation, resilience, leadership, teamwork, and attitude. Mark Schulman’s Site
And this will not be a traditional keynote.
Mark combines storytelling, audience interaction, live drumming, humor, and lessons from decades on the road to create an experience that is part keynote, part performance, and entirely his own. His message is built around a simple but powerful idea:
ATTITUDE × BEHAVIOR = CONSEQUENCE
We cannot always control what happens around us. We can control how we show up.
That idea is at the heart of Mark’s work: how our attitude shapes our behavior, how our behavior affects the people around us, and how both ultimately influence the results we create.
For BCA leaders, that conversation goes well beyond the stage. It is about the energy we bring into our companies, our relationships, our teams, and the rooms we walk into every day.
Mark is also the author of Conquering Life’s Stage Fright and The Attitude Equation, and has spent years translating lessons learned on the world’s biggest stages into practical ideas for business leaders and teams. Mark Schulman’s Site
On November 19, he’ll bring all of it to BCA.
Live drumming. Big stories. Practical ideas. A completely different kind of Speaker Series experience.
Save the date, bring a guest, and come ready to close out the 2026 Speaker Series with some energy.
