It’s time for our annual listing of top leadership conferences and events! This year, the list obviously includes online and hybrid events. Thematically, we have also put in a stronger emphasis on innovation leadership to stay tuned to these disruptive times.
2020 also saw an explosion in online content and a lot of it was free of charge. That in itself is a fine thing, but a lot of people we know have felt an overload in the content available – and a lot of event organisers struggle with the number of no-shows and people popping in and out of events. So while that is the reality of the virtual world, why not make a stand to commit to some key learning opportunities this year – and pay for it if it’s worth it?
If you are an event organiser and think your event would fit on this list, please get in touch! And p.s. Please check up to date plans (especially of any face to face events) from the organisers’ websites.
Let’s go!
