Session Category: Networking

Rising Leaders Lunch Panel

A lively panel discussion on breaking the stigma around employment in start-ups for young people and how start-up culture can drive change in industry. Boxed lunches available for the first 120 attendees.

Speed Mentoring & Networking Reception

Accomplished professionals, from a variety of backgrounds, will take time to meet with the Rising Leaders participants and share their experiences. This event is a great way to get insight from industry leaders and make some great new contacts. And, maybe, they will end up being a mentor for more than just the 15 minutes at this event.

Continue your conversations and networking at the reception which will immediately follow. Take time to socialize with your fellow young professionals who are also attending the forum. Having just participated in the speed mentoring, you’ll definitely have at least one thing in common.  Don’t miss this rewarding opportunity.

Opening Reception in the Exposition Hall (Proof of Purchase Required)

Discuss the day’s events and talk with exhibitors over drinks and light fare in the Exposition Hall. Enjoy a performance by Jon Christopher Davis, a multi-published singer-songwriter and recording artist. JCD’s songs have been covered by major-label artists, such as Dolly Parton, Timothy B. Schmit of the Eagles, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Rodney Atkins. “Little Bird,” recorded by Sherrie Austin, peaked at number 4 on Billboard’s Top Country Singles Sales Chart.
