New York Times Bestselling Author, Renowned Activist, and Exoneree Amanda Knox Announced as Neostella's 2026 NeoSummit Keynote Speaker

MILWAUKEE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Amanda Knox was wrongfully convicted, imprisoned in Italy, and later exonerated—and she's spent every year since examining how narratives take shape, how truth gets distorted, and how broken systems resist nuance.

That lived experience makes her one of the most compelling voices in a conversation the legal industry needs to have. That's why Neostella has announced Amanda Knox as keynote speaker of NeoSummit 2026, taking place May 6 - 7 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida at the Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa.

NeoSummit is legal tech company Neostella’s annual gathering of legal and operational leaders. The event is intentionally curated for those willing to move beyond surface-level conversations and engage honestly with how legal systems function, where they fail, and how they can evolve.

The two-day experience blends keynote conversations, expert-led sessions, and collaborative roundtables focused on leadership, AI in practice, operational discipline, and the business realities of modern law, with Knox's keynote and Q&A closing out day one.

After her exoneration, Knox didn't retreat. She began the harder work of examining how narratives take shape, how truth is distorted, and how control can be reclaimed. Today, as a journalist, bestselling author, podcaster, and advocate for criminal justice reform and media ethics, she brings a direct, unflinching perspective that aligns with NeoSummit's core purpose.

"Amanda brings a very unique perspective," said Matt Lautz, CEO of Neostella. "She challenges problems head-on and looks for solutions that make a genuine impact. That kind of honesty and passion is what NeoSummit is built for."

NeoSummit convenes legal leaders willing to confront complexity and rethink how legal work is done. With Amanda Knox headlining NeoSummit 2026, the event underscores its commitment to voices that challenge certainty, honor nuance, and reimagine what law can be.
