Utilizing five essential pillars of development: Leadership, Entrepreneurship; Education, Technology and Innovation; Culture and Economic Inclusion attendees learn in real-time the strategies that lead to success. We plan to amplify the voices of career and entrepreneurial leaders—to share their stories of work and risk to success, social influence and power.  These real-time opportunities will continue through each and every touchpoint, from the morning of the first day to the close of the programming while providing additional opportunities for ongoing mentorship.
