AAPEX has announced that Earvin “Magic” Johnson, NBA Hall of Famer, member of the original Dream Team and Olympic Gold medalist, will be the keynote speaker at this year’s event in Las Vegas. 

During his athletic career, Johnson earned five NBA championship rings and led the Los Angeles Lakers to nine NBA finals. He has won three MVP awards and played in 12 NBA All-Star games.
