ABOUT EMERGING LEADERS

Emerging Leaders is dedicated to connecting the next generation of meeting and incentive planners and sellers. Buyers will be qualified based on their involvement in current meeting/incentive programs for their organizations as well as nominations from their senior management teams. Emerging Leaders will build authentic relationships between buyers and suppliers through collaborative content sessions, marketplace activities and social events full of local flair. The content is strategically focused on professional development and will provide insights on how these new leaders will influence the future of our industry. Attendees will leave Emerging Leaders with both new ideas for conducting business and professional relationships for life.

Qualified buyers should be approximately 22-37 years old with a minimum of two years experience in the meetings industry, and have a passion for helping to shape the meetings and events of tomorrow.
