2026 Leadership Forum
Event Description:Join us for a full-day leadership experience featuring a hostage-negotiation commander and an AI strategy leader, designed to equip leaders with the skills required to lead with clarity in today’s complex environment.
The future of leadership clarity isn’t technical — it’s human.
Leaders today face their greatest challenges in difficult conversations, overwhelmed teams, and complex stakeholder dynamics, where judgment, empathy, and calm decision-making matter most. At the same time, AI presents a powerful opportunity to work smarter and lead more effectively, yet most professionals have not moved beyond basic, surface-level use cases.
This immersive experience bridges both worlds — emotional intelligence under pressure and practical AI application — giving leaders the tools to navigate high-stakes human moments while leveraging AI to improve focus, decision-making, and execution.
