Start your day with intention, connection, and a fresh cup of coffee. Join fellow Chiefs of Staff to set the tone, share what’s ahead, and spark meaningful conversations that will anchor your experience.

We’re kicking off Connect with energy, intention, and connection. Join us as we set the tone for the day, share what’s ahead, and spark a few meaningful conversations to get you grounded, excited, and ready to make the most of the room.

Storytelling is more than narrative, it’s a tool for operational alignment. Learn how to craft stories that move teams, influence up, down, and across, and bring clarity to complex change.

Choose your alignment path during this unique breakout block.

The "Human Room" will help you deepen trust, refine your communication style, and strengthen relational influence inside your organization.

The "AI Room" will guide you in building AI-powered workflows live with experts, equipping you with practical tools to streamline operations and reduce friction.

Conflict doesn’t have to break alignment; it can drive it. In this session, you’ll learn frameworks and techniques to navigate disagreement strategically, roleplay real-world misalignment scenarios, and discover how to transform tension into trust and progress within your teams.

Connect organically with Chiefs of Staff at similar stages of AI and operational maturity through a guided networking experience.

You’ll identify and build relationships with peers facing similar challenges and opportunities, ensuring you leave COSC with connections that will support your alignment work long after the event.

Refuel and recharge while deepening conversations from the morning. This lunch is your chance to reflect, share insights, and continue building meaningful relationships with CoS peers.

In this interactive live case session, you’ll analyze a real-world transformation that missed its mark, informed by a recorded podcast with an exceptional CEO provided before COSC.

Small groups will unpack what went wrong, draft actionable advice, and hear the CEO’s reflections live, turning a failed transformation into a powerful learning experience you can apply to your own high-stakes projects.

Step into a reflective pause with our Future Self Post Office, where you’ll write a postcard to your future self predicting your organization’s alignment challenges and personal leadership goals six months from now.

We’ll mail your note, then capture it in AI to generate an instant prediction for tomorrow, offering a striking contrast between human intuition and AI speed.

What will it take to align teams in the decade ahead? This forward-looking panel brings together experienced operators and thought leaders to explore how shifting work models, AI integration, and organizational design will redefine alignment in the years to come.

We’ll close the day with reflections and open networking over drinks and light bites, giving you space to solidify your learnings, share your insights with fellow Chiefs of Staff, and build new connections that will support your alignment work long after COSC ends.

Unwind and connect with fellow Chiefs of Staff over casual conversations, refreshing drinks, and tasty bites. Expand your network in a relaxed and engaging atmosphere.
