Attending the Wharton Leadership Conference is always the highlight of my year. I’ve attended the past 8 conferences and have been inspired by speakers ranging from CEOs of our nation’s largest companies, management gurus, and heroes from newspaper headlines such as the Chilean mine rescue. I always come away with terrific ideas, renewed energy, and the inspiration to make positive changes in our organization’s approach to leadership development.

LEADING IN A WORLD OF CONFLICT:
Wharton Annual Leadership Conference on June 20
As the world’s economies face dramatic changes, business and civil leaders are grappling with fresh uncertainties and deepening conflicts. Politicians and the public are frequently at odds; investors and companies hold time horizons that are poles apart; sovereign debt, partisan gridlock, and social upheaval are unhinging what many had taken for granted. Are there new models for leading in this turbulent climate? Our conference focuses on the leadership capabilities that are increasingly essential for building enterprise in a world of intensifying conflicts.
The annual Wharton Leadership Conference is one of the gatherings most popular with, and most beneficial for, corporate leaders, according to Weber Shandwick’s 2011 (fifth annual) ranking of Five-Star Executive Conferences. An article by Forbes.com writer Matthew Kirdahy on the report notes that the Wharton Leadership Conference is second only to the Fortune Innovation/iMeme conference in the number of C-level speaker participants. And in a 2008 study by Burson-Marsteller, the conference was named as one of the "Most Valued Podiums" for CEOs and senior executives.
