The Austin Recovery Speaker Series is an annual fundraising luncheon speaker series that began in the fall of 2011. Each gathering features a nationally acclaimed artist, entertainer or speaker who shares his or her story of recovery. The goal of the series is to break the silence and stigma placed on addiction, while raising essential funds in support of Austin Recovery’s commitment to provide high-quality services to all in need.

This year's keynote speaker is Grammy-winning songstress Natalie Cole.
