CONFERENCE INFORMATION

Overview
Leadership doesn't stop developing at any level. The LEAD Conference brings together first-time managers and 20-year executives alike, because the strategies that build strong leaders don't expire once you've made VP. Through expert keynotes, hands-on workshops, and peer-driven collaboration, you'll build a personal leadership playbook you can put to work immediately, whether you're leading your first team or reshaping how your entire organization leads.
Who Should Attend
LEAD is built for leaders at every stage, not just the ones starting out. That includes high-potential employees stepping into their first leadership role, mid-level managers scaling their impact, and senior executives and directors sharpening how they lead through change. If you influence people, whether that's a team of three or a division of three hundred, this conference has strategies built for where you are right now. LEAD also celebrates tED Magazine's 30 Under 35 Award winners with a dedicated awards ceremony, one part of a conference built for leaders across every career stage.
