Forbes Names the World Business Forum NYC One of the Best Leadership Summits to Attend
this Year
Forbes has named the World Business Forum NYC one of the best leadership summits to attend this year. After all, to succeed in today’s fast-changing world and thrive as a leader, the World Business Forum NYC is one of the best places to be. Those who fail to take the initiative to attend an event like this will surely “lose their next job or promotion to someone who did.”
According to Forbes, the defining qualities of a top leadership summit are “immersive networking, reinvention strategy, and thought-provoking conversation”—and the World Business Forum delivers on all of them.
Chris Stanley, Managing Director of WOBI USA and Global Content Director, told Forbes that “leaders must develop adaptability, resilience, and strategic foresight.” He also noted that “the ability to engage talent and build high-performing teams remains a key challenge for creating a sustainable competitive advantage.” That’s exactly why the World Business Forum’s agenda is carefully designed to equip leaders with the tools they need to succeed.
The World Business Forum New York has hosted some of the most influential thought leaders and practitioners of our time—including Michael Porter, Jim Collins, Angela Ahrendts, General David Petraeus, George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, Michael Phelps, Jack Welch, Allyson Felix, and Simon Sinek, among many others. This year’s program for the 22nd edition of the World Business Forum NYC is “its strongest yet,” Stanley argues.
With influential and globally recognized figures such as Adam Grant, Brené Brown, Scott Galloway, James Clear, Seth Godin, Renée Richardson Gosline Ayanna Howard, James Patterson, Patrick Leddin, and Simone Biles, attendees will leave equipped with the tools and insights to tackle today’s most pressing challenges.
The impact of the World Business Forum goes far beyond New York City. Sydney, Milan, Madrid, Bogotá, and Mexico City also host this premium two-day event. Ready to level up your leadership game?
