Why Attend?

·         The world has certainly changed since the recent global pandemic and leadership has become even more complex. We now have multiple different generations in the workplace at the same time, with our teams scattered all around the world – some working in person, others fully remote, while most might be under some sort of hybrid work arrangement.  Come out and learn from some of the top leaders in their respective industries as we dive into the complexities of leading in today’s world.

·         Surround yourself with like-minded, diverse powerhouse leaders from the public and private sectors, while educating yourself on topics affecting all of us.

·         Network with some of the areas most talented and influential leaders.
