WICT’s Leadership Conference is the premier leadership development program for its members and other industry stakeholders.
This year’s theme, Co-Create the Future, will build on collaboration and inclusion as we move into a new era of leadership governed by artificial intelligence and a heightened focus on performance.
The program will feature a robust lineup of general sessions, interactive workshops, expert panels, coaching appointments and numerous peer-to-peer networking opportunities. Conference speakers — who encompass a diverse array of industry professionals, business experts and academic thought leaders — will address cutting edge innovations in strategy, human capital, productivity, diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB), and what it means to be a great leader.

Both events aligned me with like-minded professionals that are determined to gain as much knowledge as we can about becoming better leaders in order to strengthen our organizations. The breakout sessions and panel discussions helped me hone the leadership skills that I will need to master in the next level of my career.”
“I highly recommend this series to anyone who is looking to take not only their career but their life to the next level. You have to be open and ready to face the challenges within you and be prepared to build upon a new foundation of presences within you.”
“The courses strengthen my interpersonal skills and taught me how to do excel while remaining authentic. The conference also teaches you how to have your authentic brand, full of integrity so that people can trust you to promote you to the next level.”
