Meet our keynote: Chris Egert

Chris is one of the longest tenured news anchors in the Twin Cities, having spent most of his time co-hosting Minnesota’s favorite morning news. He also co-hosts a daily travel & leisure show called “Minnesota Live.”

Chris is generally behind the news desk, but when a big story breaks like the George Floyd protests and riots in 2020, he field anchored KSTP’s award winning news coverage from the scene. In 2014 Chris took viewers to Germany where the shell of US Bank Stadium was being built, and found that a controversial material was being used to cover the multi-billion dollar facility. In 2013 he went to Africa for a series of stories on Minnesotans who were training doctors, educating impoverished students, and tracking wild animals in the Serengeti.

As a morning anchor in Seattle he was one of the first journalists in the world to arrive in Japan after the 2011 earthquake and Tsunami. He was pelted by multiple hurricanes during the historic season of 2004 while in Orlando. And as an anchor in Omaha he accompanied military forces to Spain in 2001 as they traveled to Afghanistan after 9/11.

Chris has flown with the Blue Angels, taken shelter under a table in a Walmart, and spent the night in a Navy Destroyer but sleeps at home these days – as a grounded family man.

Chris is also a below the knee amputee – after a series of unfortunate events stemming from his high school and college basketball career. He volunteers on the Board of Directors with a limb loss empowerment organization called Wiggle Your Toes.
