SMARTer Together WITH REAL STORIES FROM THE TRENCHES!

Connect with a vibrant network of people who share a commitment to learning and making a meaningful impact.  The open space unconference format will invite you to share your stories and discuss what matters to you! Evening gatherings and shared activities will create space for genuine connection, new and rediscovered friendships, and unexpected discoveries.

We live in hard times and it’s not getting any easier. We’ve all felt this reality, moments marked by complexity, accelerating change, and an ever-present sense of uncertainty. These chaotic times call us to meet these challenges with creativity, resilience, hope, and adaptability. The way forward, the way of hope, is in us together, our community. It’s in meeting you where you are at, it is in supporting each other, it’s in what we learn from each other, it’s in what we choose to experiment with and apply, it’s in the connections we make.

In this spirit, you’re invited to come together as a community, to draw on our shared wisdom, and to shape the future we want to see.

This is an open gathering for professionals and practitioners across disciplines who are ready to explore new horizons together.

You and your experience matters here … whether you are wearing the hat of a product manager, project manager, delivery lead, engineer, designer, business analyst, coach, facilitator, change agent, HR professional, educator, design thinker, or entrepreneur.
