PLANO, Texas, Nov. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Alkami Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALKT) ("Alkami"), a digital sales and service platform provider for financial institutions in the U.S., today announced Ryan Leak as the keynote speaker for Alkami Co:lab 2026, taking place April 13–15, 2026, at the newly opened Gaylord Pacific Resort and Convention Center in San Diego, California.

A New York Times bestselling author, podcast host, and leadership expert, Leak will headline the event with his keynote, 'Leveling Up', an interactive session designed to help leaders grow with focus and intentionality. Drawing on his experience researching and equipping leaders and teams at some of the world's top organizations, Leak will challenge attendees to reflect, refocus, and reignite their growth both professionally and personally.

"Growth doesn't happen by accident; it happens by intention," Leak said. "At Alkami Co:lab 2026, I look forward to helping leaders identify what's holding them back, challenge their assumptions about success, and leave with a clear plan to level up in their work and in their lives."

Tailored for business leaders, 'Leveling Up' explores six key questions that drive professional and personal development. Leak will discuss how the difference between good and great leaders comes down to intentionality rather than talent or luck. Attendees will leave with practical tools to build self-awareness, consistency, and courage, along with insights they can apply immediately to strengthen their teams and organizations.
