"We are excited to once again be a host location for this worldwide simulcast featuring world renown speakers, authors and more. It is inspirational, experiential and transformational. 

"Leadercast Live is the world’s largest one-day leadership event, with more than 100,000 attendees participating at 700-plus locations in 20 countries around the globe. It is designed for those seeking inspiration and improvement in leadership whether you attend as an individual or with a group.

"It’s a movement that is changing the way the world thinks about leadership by building leaders worth following. In order to become those leaders to the outside, we have to lead ourselves first. We must walk the walk. 

"It’s like the flight attendants tell us: “Please remember to wear your own oxygen mask before helping others.”

"In 2018, Leadercast will focus on that very concept. How do you lead yourself effectively? How do you develop your core principles and values so that your leadership is an outpouring of your innermost self? And how much more will those who follow you benefit from your leadership when you lead yourself well?"

Why Attend Leadercast Greater Valley Chamber?
In line with this year’s theme, “Lead Yourself”, we encourage you to attend and bring all key leaders in your organization. 

This gives everyone the opportunity to invest in themselves. They will learn to lead themselves and that will allow them to lead others more effectively. 

Take the opportunity to remove yourself from your normal business environment; it will free you up from everyday distractions to network, learn and be inspired.

The change of scenery often ignites creativity and helps leaders look at their businesses and lives in a different light. We believe spending time with attendees, vendors and experts, plus a staff whose only focus is to ensure you have a deeper level of engagement, creates a life-changing experience.

HR and CEU credits available.

Our sponsors are a part of our Leadercast culture. We are grateful to partner with businesses that are truly leaders worth following. 

Additional sponsorship opportunities now available, contact Nancie for details. 

Please note: Reservations for this event are non-refundable.
