Spring 2025 Topics

This session will challenge even the most seasoned leaders. The theme of our current session is Leading Through Complex Change. The choices leaders make today about where to modernize, how to scale AI, building a workforce including non-human labor, and how to deliver truly differentiated customer experiences and partnerships will shape who leads in the years ahead. In a time of rising tech debt, global uncertainty, and constant disruption, the path forward is clear: lead with conviction, not caution.

Expect unfiltered dialogue including:

• From Band-Aids to Breakthroughs: Reframing tech debt as a strategic weapon
