OCTOBER 29-30, 2018 – BOSTON, MA
BECOME A BETTER LEADER
We set out to create an experience that was more than just talks. That includes:
- Get to know other attendees before the event. We’ll ask for introductions from attendees and share them with you to improve your chances of making meaningful connections at Summit.
- Interactive case studies. We’ll dive deeper into particular challenges and you’ll be exposed to different ways of thinking about problems through small group problem solving activities.
- Breakout sessions. Bring your questions and challenges and get them in front of other leaders through our attendee led breakout sessions.
- Lightning talks. Think signal vs. noise. These short talks will distill a problem down to its essence and deliver a potent, memorable takeaway.
Summit is a single track, guided experience where the people you meet and the relationships you build from it will be valuable long after the event ends.
