With over 100 years of reporting on the most successful leaders and entrepreneurs having an impact on the world, Forbes now brings that first-hand experience to the unique Forum program.
In one full day of curated learning you will build the knowledge base to be an effective, resilient leader set for success in 2024.

Learn real-world lessons from founders who have been there, done that, and who innately understand the challenges of modern leadership.

Discover groundbreaking insights and innovative strategies being used by leaders of successful brands in fitness and health, HR and payroll tech, AI consultancy, leadership education and more.

Join a cohort of like-minded entrepreneurs and executives for a refreshing take on professional growth and development.
Today’s business climate requires a mix of motivation, skill, influence, resilience and innovative thinking.
But up to 80% of new leaders are not accomplished in two or more of these critical skills and feel ill-prepared for the demands of their new role*.
Don’t be the 80%. Companies that focus on development can strengthen their ability to weather challenging circumstances and consistently perform better across key industry benchmarks*.
