About CHIEF OF STAFF CONNECT
the first multi-day event exclusively for senior Chiefs of Staff
We’re bringing together 120+ select senior chiefs of staff from across industries and geographies for two days full of discussion, problem-solving, and fun. With this year’s theme – “Company Blueprints & Chief of Staff Toolkits” – our aim is to give you actionable takeaways on strategy and tactics, not just rose-colored-glasses stories and impractical theories.
This is not your cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all conference. You’ll choose which sessions are most valuable to you and most sessions will be highly interactive, with case studies, live problem-solving sessions, workshops, and discussions. You’ll leave Chief of Staff Connect armed with inspiration from the strategic sessions, actual playbooks from the tactical sessions, and a community of other senior Chiefs to continue the conversation long after the event is done.
