November 9-11 | Scottsdale, AZ
Leadership expectations are rising. Resources aren't.
HR and L&D leaders are being asked to accelerate leadership readiness, drive business performance, embrace AI, strengthen managers, and prove impact—all while navigating constant change.
That's why the Better Leaders Summit exists.
From November 9–11, join HR, talent, and learning leaders who are solving these challenges in real time. Through customer case studies, peer discussions, workshops, and hands-on sessions, you'll learn what's working inside organizations like GE HealthCare, Truist, Cox Automotive, U.S. Steel, and more.
You'll leave with practical strategies, proven approaches, and new connections that can help you build leadership capability faster, drive greater adoption, and deliver measurable business impact.


The Better Leaders Summit is certified by HRCI and SHRM for 14 CEUs.
Leave with More Than Inspiration
