THE EXECUTIVE EXCHANGESteve Forbes, Kat Cole, and G.J. Hart; hosted by Mark Sanborn, CSP, CPAE

What are the leaders of top organizations thinking, doing, and planning for the future? This forum of CEOs will uncover those answers, and give you insights to guide your business. Additionally, you will hear exactly how they utilize speakers, consultants, and outside experts (like you) to achieve their objectives.

Steve Forbes Chairman and editor-in-chief of Forbes Media

Under Forbes’ leadership, Forbes Media has launched a variety of new publications and businesses. The company’s flagship publication, Forbes, is the nation’s leading business magazine, with a circulation of more than 900,000. Forbes is the author of, How Capitalism Will Save Us: Why Free People and Free Markets Are the Best Answer in Today’s Economy, co-authored by Elizabeth Ames, and Power Ambition Glory: The Stunning Parallels between Great Leaders of the Ancient World and Today . . . and the Lessons You Can Learn, co-authored by John Prevas.

Hart’s leadership skills, strategic vision, and ability to create an employee-focused culture are often cited as the pillars for Texas Roadhouse’s successful expansion.


IT’S ABOUT TIME

Being exceptional on the platform used to be the only thing that really mattered, but that’s no longer the case. Meeting planners have a new standard by which all presenters are being judged, and to abuse it – or take it for granted – is the quickest way to shorten your career.

Hall of Fame speaker Eric Chester, CSP, CPAE, leads a renowned line-up of presenters who will change the way you prepare for every presentation, and transform the way you present your message.
