A full year of touch points for you and your team to create value together.

Our 2024 Annual Council Meeting will be held on Monday, September 16th, as part of the Innovation Workshop & Tour: A Quarterly Series Oracle Industry Lab. Immediately following the Welcome Networking Bruncheon, participating Partners will collaborate on a preliminary set of critical issues to later be sent out to Growth Partners for a Council vote. This process will determine the Critical Issues Agenda, to be addressed throughout 2025. The Critical Issues Agenda will guide the development of in-person events, virtual events and curated content. Setting the Critical Issues Agenda is a key role in ensuring the content for the Council remains driven by its Partners.
