What Makes ELEVATE Different?

RedThread Thread_Red Squiggle-1

 

This is not another sit-and-listen conference. It’s a co-created, immersive event where senior leaders solve problems together, push boundaries, and unlock the future of HR.


Dynamic Collaboration

Engage in open conference principles, fishbowl panels, and co-creation sessions that prioritize shared insights over sage-on-the-stage presentations. No PowerPoints, just transformational conversations.


Relationship-Building

Forge meaningful connections through carefully curated experiences, including immersive outdoor activities, intimate collaborative dinners, and dynamic small-group discussions designed to spark deep conversations and lasting professional relationships.


Immersive Setting

Surrounded by Snowbird’s breathtaking mountain views and abundant natural light, this setting fosters clarity, creativity, and deeper exploration of bold ideas.


Exclusive Community

Attendance is limited to ~150 attendees, from  HR, Talent, L&D, and People Analytics. Attendance is by application to cultivate a community of engaged, forward-thinking leaders and ensure meaningful, high-impact conversations.

Agenda Preview

ELEVATE is designed to be immersive, collaborative, and outcome-driven. Instead of a rigid agenda packed with traditional keynotes and panels, this event is shaped by its attendees - senior HR leaders who are tackling the most pressing challenges in the field. While the core structure is set, the discussions and insights will evolve in the lead up to the event to ensure the experience is highly relevant, interactive, and action-oriented. Below is a general overview of the core structure.
