An annual favorite, the Leadership Summit is hosted by NC TECH along with its Board of Directors and Advisors. Geared towards executives, this summit provides the opportunity to hear from some of the tech sector’s influential leaders on variety of topics, from talent to transformation, through both structured discussions and more informal networking and engagement opportunities. Attendance is capped at 200. 

2024 Theme: Adaptive Leadership

In today’s world, adapting and changing is a “must” to traverse daily life to achieve personal and professional goals and it is important for leaders to show the way. This year’s Leadership Summit will focus on Adaptive Leadership and its basic principles. To survive and thrive in today’s business world, one needs to be more than high-performing. They need to adopt new strategies and techniques to overcome any challenges that come their way and adaptive leadership is a great set of tools to help navigate to success.
