ANNOUNCING 2026 OUUG KEYNOTE ADDRESS
DEREK DALY
Formula 1 and IndyCar Driver, Entrepenneur, Best-Selling Author, TV Broadcaster & Professional Speaker
“Culture – Formula WON: How to Shift From Good2Great2Extraordinary”
This keynote address & welcome ceremony officially kicks off OUUG 2026 on Wednesday, April 15, 2026 at 8:00am.
OUUG is pleased to welcome World-class Irish-born former racecar driver Derek Daly, an internationally sought-after speaker, entrepreneur, best-selling author, renowned TV broadcaster and Master of Fast who competed in Formula One and IndyCar for 17 years. He made 49 Formula One starts and six starts in the Indianapolis 500, and won the 12 Hours of Sebring twice. After surviving a near-fatal 212 MPH crash at Michigan International Speedway, he became a prominent motorsport analyst for ESPN, NBC, CBS, and Fox and wrote Race to Win: How to Become a Complete Champion and A Champion’s Path: Be Extraordinary. He competed against world champions – raced for some of the world’s most successful teams – won all over the world – lived in Monte Carlo – dined with Royalty – and was almost killed three times. Derek’s experiences are breathtaking as he shares real-life sports analogies in a unique and compelling manner, that leaves audiences in awe. Culture is not an abstract concept, but must be encoded into the DNA of teams, on and off the track. Culture Formula WON shows companies how to think and act differently as they push themselves to the edge of what might be possible.
Thank you to PAYMENTUS for underwriting this year’s OUUG keynote speaker.
