LEAP Career Conference
LEAP Summit
Saturday, December 4, 2021 10:00 am - 4:00 pm ET
Career Conference for the Ripple Effect of Your Career Journey
Everyone thinks about what they COULD HAVE done to change their story, but no one thinks about what they could do NOW to change their future. This year’s LEAP Summit is a chance to reflect on how the smallest conversations can turn into actionable steps, and how each little step or big leap creates a ripple effect. Join us to learn about yourself through conversation, open doors to new opportunities with networking, and leave motivated to take action and find purpose in your career journey.
