Meet one of our 2026 EHDI Family Conference keynote speakers, Will Frentz!

Will spent 16 years as a professional athlete on the United States Deaf Men’s National Soccer Team, including 5 years as team captain. Because cochlear implants were barred, he and his teammates developed strategies that proved how effective ASL and visual communication can be in the fast-paced environments from which many deaf individuals are still excluded. Now he draws from those experiences to empower others to embrace diversity, advocate for inclusion, and overcome perceived limitations in order to achieve their dreams.

Come experience his inspiring message in person on April 25! Register for the conference here: https://www.inhandsandvoices.org/family-conference
