18 Feb 2013 Conway to host simulcast of global leadership event
In May, residents of Conway and Faulkner County will have the opportunity to hear from high-profile figures in sports, entertainment, government and business.
The event is the Chick-fil-A Leadercast, and the Conway Area Chamber of Commerce is hosting a broadcast of the one-day leadership development program. The Conway Leadercast will take place from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Friday, May 10, at Fellowship Bible Church.
Whitney Farris, director of membership development at the Chamber, said the event is a chance to gain insight into the leadership habits of some of the country’s highest achieving personalities.
“I think any aspiring leader who attends will leave with new skills and ideas,” she said. “The diversity of speakers, the setting and the materials all add up to a fun and beneficial day of personal and professional development.”
Speakers during the one-day event include Jack Welch, former chairman and CEO of General Electric; former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice; leadership and management expert John Maxwell; and many more.
Leadercast is broadcast live from Atlanta. More than 140,000 participants from around the world are expected to attend or watch a broadcast of this year’s event. The conference began in 2000, and this is the second year the Chamber has hosted a broadcast. More than 150 people attended the inaugural Conway event.
Seating is limited, so advance registration is recommended. The early bird registration price is $65 and includes materials and lunch. After Friday, March 1, registration is $75.
