Event Description

Event Description
IDEAS THAT INSPIRE... AND THE PEOPLE CREATING THEM.

This year's conference is designed with one goal in mind: to inspire innovative business leadership. While many may be tempted to simply retreat during these challenging times, true leaders are looking to not just survive, but actually re-energize their businesses and careers. Our sessions are designed with that goal in mind.

Anyone leading the effort to provide strategic direction and breakthrough thinking to their organization will find these discussions invaluable.  In a time when "business as usual" simply won't cut it, we encourage you to come out to the desert and spend a few days hearing from innovative leaders and collaborating with your peers.  This can help ensure that the unique ingenuity of the Southern California market leads our industry into its next phase of growth and prosperity. As a relevant aside, there’s also golf and a killer water slide at the hotel.
