The most influential African American, Latinx, Native American and Asian American leaders from across Wisconsin, as named by Madison365’s and FoxValley365’s power lists over the past five years, will gather along with business leaders, community members, students and anyone who wishes to engage in important discussions around diversity, inclusion, equity and talent retention at Overture Center for the Arts and Madison Museum of Contemporary Art (MMoCA) on October 5 and 6, 2020, at the second annual Wisconsin Leadership Summit. The general public may also purchase tickets to this historic event.
Nearly 400 people attended the first Wisconsin Leadership Summit in 2018, nearly 600 attended in 2019, and many more are expected this year.
“The first Wisconsin Leadership Summit in 2018 exceeded all of our expectations, and the second one only grew, ” said Madison365 Publisher and CEO Henry Sanders. “Everyone in attendance brought something important to the table, and we all came away with real ideas to improve the climate for people of color in Wisconsin, not to mention new friendships and connections. We’re very excited to make it happen again and build on that success, and grateful to return to Overture Center and MMoCA as hosts and great partners.”
The conference will feature panel discussions on issues ranging from education to nonprofit leadership to incarceration, as well as a gala dinner, community arts showcase and many networking and professional development opportunities.
Registration will be open later this spring. Pricing and registration details will be announced in the coming weeks.
Sponsorship opportunities are also available. For additional information or to register, visit http://www.wisconsinleadershipsummit.com or email [email protected].
