JUST CONFIRMED | Cold Chain Institute Keynote: Paul de Gelder

Paul de Gelder

Prepare to be inspired by one of the most extraordinary stories of perseverance and triumph over adversity. We are thrilled to announce Paul de Gelder as the keynote speaker at this year’s Cold Chain Institutes.

Paul de Gelder—an inspirational figure whose story of resilience, adaptability, and overcoming the odds will resonate deeply with professionals in the cold chain industry.

Paul’s life has been shaped by daring challenges, from serving as an Army Paratrooper and Navy bomb disposal diver to facing a life-altering shark attack during a routine Navy dive in 2009. After losing both a hand and a leg in the attack, Paul refused to let adversity define him. Through sheer willpower and determination, he reclaimed his life and returned to full-time Navy service within just six months.

His journey of adaptability and perseverance mirrors the resilience required in the cold chain industry—where overcoming challenges, innovating, and evolving to meet ever-changing demands are key to success. As a leader in his field, Paul’s message of how to “Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome” will inspire your teams to rise above obstacles and push the boundaries of what's possible.

Secure your spot today and bring your team along for this truly inspiring experience! This is the #1 temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics training program with two great locations on opposite sides of the country. Our experienced faculty will help your employees gain valuable skills and tools to benefit their careers and your organization.
