HOSTED BY
CREATING THROUGH ADVERSITY
SPONSORED BY
The ways in which we perceive and meet challenges inform whether we let them determine our outcomes or we use them as stepping stones to more sustainable and innovative possibilities. In this strangest of times and uncertainty, we ponder these igniting questions.
Are you stressing about your current situation, or are you creating a different reality? In other words, are you turning these unforeseen but undeniable stress points into opportunities for innovation?
As we come together to explore “Creating Through Adversity,” we will focus on actively rebirthing our businesses, challenging the status quo, navigating murky waters, and rebuilding our lives and our world in ways that are dynamic, innovative, sustainable, all-inclusive, compassionate and nurturing.

Stories of success against all odds can serve as a Northstar to guide us in making key business decisions, from brand and product development, to building a world-class team, to setting and articulating our strategic priorities and ways of engaging customers, proactively, consistently, and authentically. We want to know how leaders stay focused on their purpose amidst all the noise and chaos. How do they create a sustainable framework that will allow them and their team to thrive and succeed? At this Summit, we will be exploring the following focus points, all the way from the essential whys to the tactical hows:
-
Building A Purpose-Driven Brand
-
Consciously Building Diverse & Inclusive Teams
-
Defining Ethical Leadership
LEARN, ADAPT, EXECUTE
Listen to ideas from leaders across various industries, from CBD to tech giants:
-
How to build and launch a brand amidst COVID19, BLM, and economic uncertainty in a crucial election year.
-
Why the typical brand-building playbook has been thrown out the window, and how new ones are created, challenged, and redrawn from scratch as we face unforeseen challenges daily.
-
How Founders/CEOs are building from purpose and navigating even when their convictions are challenged and ethics are tested.
-
How to conduct cultural health checks on our brand voice, tone and messaging, and assure the authenticity of our narrative and visual language.
-
How to cultivate a corporate culture of giving back internally and moving beyond that to communities and businesses.

I was so glad to be part of the Futurum Forum networking and discussions. This time can feel isolating and exhausting but I left feeling empowered, energized, and inspired to keep pivoting, and if that doesn't work—rest and pivot again!
