Meet Your Keynote Speaker

The Keynote Session at The ARA Show™ 2027 in New Orleans will be headlined by Drew Brees, Super Bowl XLIV Champion and MVP. Brees spent 15 seasons leading the New Orleans Saints and brings a message of preparation, resilience and team-building that speaks directly to equipment and event rental professionals gathering for the industry’s biggest show.

On-Field Career

Community Impact

Brees takes as much pride in his community work as he does in his on-field performance. He and his wife, Brittany, established the Brees Dream Foundation in 2003; since then, the foundation has contributed more than $50 million to improve quality of life for cancer patients and to provide care, education and opportunity for children and families in need. Brees also co-founded SHIELD 1 Foundation, which addresses community needs spanning housing, healthcare, education, business opportunity, economic development, urban farming, support of HBCUs, social justice and legislative reform.

Service & Family

Brees has completed five USO tours, visiting Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, Germany, Turkey, Djibouti, Dubai, Okinawa and Guantanamo Bay. He and Brittany live in San Diego, California, with their four children: Baylen, Bowen, Callen and Rylen.
