Ready for a workout? ELNstudio is back!
Since 2009, ELNstudio has been a flagship event of CivicAction’s Emerging Leaders Network (ELN)—bringing together hundreds of rising leaders from different sectors in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) for a one-day conference to collaborate and tackle the challenges facing our region.
This year, ELNstudio is tackling leadership in the 21st century.
We know this century has already been coloured by new disruptive trends and rapid change. Discourse around diversity and inclusion is on the rise. Trust and confidence in traditional institutions continues to shift. Cities in particular are not just growing at unprecedented rates, but experiencing increasing wealth divides, revolutionary advancements in technology, and the broad impacts of globalization.
It’s clear the world is changing—and the skills needed for effective leadership need to keep pace.
Join 150+ rising leaders on November 16th for ELNstudio: Better Leader Bootcamp – a jam packed day of high-intensity workshops and training sessions designed to give your leadership muscles a workout!
ELNstudio: Better Leader Bootcamp will expand your leadership toolkit and focus on the skills rising leaders need to flex to drive change in the 21st century.
Date/Time: Saturday, November 16th, 2019/ 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (Registration closes promptly at 9:00am)
Location: UofT Daniel’s Architecture Building, 1 Spadina Crescent, Toronto, ON
