Whether you work in business, nonprofit, education, government, healthcare, or another field, the Lead Forward conference is designed for professionals at every career stage who are committed to growing as leaders and making a positive impact at their workplaces and in the communities they serve.

Attendees can look forward to an engaging day that will feature:

      • Inspiring speakers
      • Interactive breakout sessions
      • Professional development opportunities
      • Conversations about the future of Central New York
      • Connecting with professionals and expanding your network
      • Opportunities to exchange ideas, build relationships, and return to work with fresh perspectives

More than just a conference, this event is an opportunity to invest in yourself, your organization, and our region. By bringing together diverse perspectives and encouraging collaboration, the conference reflects LGS’s mission of cultivating leaders and strengthening community.

Additional details—including speakers, session topics, and registration information—will be announced in the coming months.
