Shaquem Griffin announced as TAPPI’s CorrExpo 2025 Closing Keynote Speaker

TAPPI has announced that Shaquem Griffin is the closing keynote for CorrExpo 2025, taking place October 20-22 at the Savannah Convention Center in Savannah, GA. Registration for CorrExpo 2025 is now open.

A former linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks and Miami Dolphins, Shaquem has turned heads and shattered expectations at every level of his career. Born with amniotic band syndrome, he had his left hand amputated at just four years old – but that didn’t stop him.  Shaquem made national headlines when he ran a jaw-dropping 4.38-sec 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine.  He was drafted by the Seahawks in 2018, alongside his twin brother. Today, Shaquem is a consultant with the NFL Legends Community and a sought-after motivational speaker.

During his closing keynote “Please Don’t Tell Me What I Can’t Do,” taking place on Wednesday, October 22 at 11:00 am, Shaquem will inspire CorrExpo attendees to think outside the box by sharing his journey of resilience, determination, and purpose.

TAPPI CorrExpo 2025 brings together a diverse community of box manufacturers, suppliers, technical experts, and industry leaders, all with a shared goal: to foster innovation, strengthen relationships, and connect with the trends shaping the future of the packaging industry.  To learn more about the keynote speaker, panel discussions, event program, or to register, visit: correxpo.org. Early bird rates end September 27.
