The Thought Leadership Conference serves as the premier intercultural institute for educational experiences to increase leadership awareness about diversity and the power of inclusion in the school, community, and business sectors that spark intercultural innovation.

The Thought Leadership Conference builds a connected culture of collaboration between cross-sector leaders in the community, focusing on equity, diversity, and inclusion—the human side of business, education, and community, building a connected culture.

We value helping leaders engage across differences through collective intelligence to face complex demographic shifts in their region; employers demand college-career-ready performers, and community members insist on agile, innovative workplaces
