Taking place on March 2-4, 2025, at the Conrad Orlando in Florida, this year’s event will feature a high-impact, interactive workshop designed to equip executives with the tools needed to drive success and sustainability in the face of industry transformation.
This year’s roundtable will be led by Kaihan Krippendorff, CEO of Outthinker, who is globally recognized for his expertise in growth strategy and innovation.
