Leaders in Richmond and Vancouver’s business, civic and education spheres will converge in two weeks’ time to hear from some of the most influential minds in the world.
As part of a simulcast — being beamed to host sites around the planet — more than 100 people are set to attend Leadercast at Richmond’s Sandman Signature hotel on May 6.
Among the stellar line-up of guest speakers at the live event in Atlanta will be Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Inc., Kat Cole, group president at FOCUS Brands (Auntie Anne’s, Cinnabon and more) and Nick Saban, head football coach at The University of Alabama.
And as well as hearing presentations from the aforementioned speakers, attendees will have the chance during the day to network with fellow leaders and top university leadership students.
“It’s about networking and recruiting, while hearing and seeing presentations from some of the greatest business leaders in the world,” said Russ Swaim, area manager for Langley-based, non-profit mentorship organization LeaderImpact, which is hosting the Richmond event.
“Wozniak is going to be answering questions — posed ahead of time. We can’t interact with (the guest speakers) face-to-face, but we can hear the challenges they all faced and overcame to be among the best in their industries.
“The aim is also to build better leaders across different genres and to develop character and principals.”
The simulcast will be on a one-hour delay, to allow for technical difficulties, and will start at 7:45 a.m. and run until 4 p.m. Included in the $125 (plus tax) fee will be the simulcast, lunch and snacks.
Leadercast has been running for 15 years, but this is the first time it has been broadcast in Richmond.
