Florida State Representative and Orlando mayoral candidate Anna Eskamani will be with us at PHXCON 2026! Anna shares her personal journey growing up in Orlando as the daughter of immigrants, her experiences in public service, and what she has learned during her time in the Florida Legislature. She explains why leaders should focus on "calling people in before they call people out," finding common ground, and engaging in meaningful dialogue without sacrificing their values. Anna also offers advice to young people—including a reminder to "girl, chill"—encouraging students and young professionals to slow down, enjoy life, explore the world, and remember where they came from.
