If you’ve taken a look at my Speaking & Conference schedule for the next few months, you’ll see that I’ll be attending and/or speaking at several really great events. I’m excited about them all for a variety of reasons and each will provide its share of takeaways, new relationships and opportunities!
One upcoming event I’d like to highlight for you (and offer you a discount code) is the 2011 Future Leaders Conference in Chicago, Illinois September 14 – 15, 2011. The theme for the conference is – “Rethinking How We Attract, Identify, & Develop High Potential & Next Generation Leadership Talent” and this conference is put on by the good folks at The Conference Board.
At this conference, attendees will:
- Explore best-in-class approaches to attract, identify, assess, and develop emerging leaders
- Discuss leadership development strategies, methodologies, and tools used to meet the needs of high potential talent
- Learn about unique challenges of next generation leadership development in emerging markets
- Network with innovative leaders and discover new ideas to drive leadership development

Each of their conferences include great speakers (the majority of whom are practitioners) from leading companies sharing best practices and their experiences.
