The Work Summit, a two-day event for those who want to improve collaboration, build resiliency, lead with intention, and aim for balance.
About this Event

Work isn’t working—for too many people, it’s a source of burnout, disconnection, or constant anxiety. We believe there’s a better way to work, and at The Work Summit, we’re building it together.

📅 Two immersive days, Sept 16-17, just north of Chicago in Evanston, IL

👥 Small-group, expert-led workshops

💡 Real-world strategies for better work and stronger leadership

Registration required. You can register via EventBrite or on our website here.
