Joey Kelly, known as a musician, extreme athlete and motivational speaker, will headline the 22nd Economic Forum in Schmalkalden-Meiningen. The event takes place on May 6, 2026, at MZA-Meyer Zweiradtechnik GmbH in Meiningen. District Administrator Peggy Greiser personally invited him to share his story of perseverance and achievement.
