As Virginia Government Finance
professionals, we are often tasked
with knowing and retaining data
related to transactions, budgets and
financial reporting, sometimes
serving as historians of this
information for years within our
localities. How about just day
to day interactions - Do you forget
people's names? Wish you could
remember all of your contacts' phone
numbers? Or other information that
is constantly bombarding you on a
daily basis? In Nelson's
presentation, you will learn the
basics of memory techniques and a
sure-fire approach to remember
anything. Nelson is a 5-time USA
Memory Champion and taught himself
how to have a phenomenal memory--he
believes it is a skill anyone can
master and will teach you how to get
started!
Nelson Dellis is a 5x USA Memory
Champion and one of the leading
memory experts in the world,
traveling around the world as a

Consultant, Published Author and

As a Memory Champion, Mountaineer,
and Alzheimer's Disease Activist, he
preaches a lifestyle that combines
fitness, both mental and physical,
with proper diet and social
involvement.
Born with an average memory, Nelson
was inspired by the passing of his
grandmother from Alzheimer's disease
in 2009 to start training his memory
so that he could keep his mind
strong and healthy throughout his
lifespan.
