Please join us for our Keynote Address from Maggie Nichols. Maggie was born in Little Canada, MN, in 1997 and fell in love with gymnastics at the age of 3. She had always dreamed of representing her country and quickly rose in the ranks of USA gymnastics, making the US National Team when she was 14. She traveled the world helping Team USA win international medals and was considered a top contender for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.

Maggie was the first of many to come forward and report abuse from a Team USA trainer and was named “Athlete A” for most of the investigation and lawsuit until she came forward publicly in 2018 and shared her experience alongside other survivors. Maggie continues to hold a unique and influential position regarding the current reconfiguration and assessment of USA Gymnastics. Netflix aired a documentary featuring Maggie’s story in June 2020, bringing additional light and attention to the tragedy in hopes of helping others. Since then, she has established The Maggie Nichols Foundation, an organization based on the mission to offer assistance to charities that help heal victims and survivors of all types of abuse.

In 2016, Maggie left the elite gymnastics world and went on to the University of Oklahoma to compete in the NCAA. She stamped her legacy by becoming one of the most decorated NCAA gymnasts of all time and has been dubbed “the Michael Jordan of College Gymnastics."

Outside of sports, Maggie is passionate about sharing her story, empowering athletes and non-athletes alike, and bringing a positive light to those around her.

Most recently, she released her memoir, Unstoppable!, chronicling her journey from World Champion to Athlete A to 8-time NCAA National Champion and beyond.
