Purpose Summit 2024 Sets Agenda for April 29-May 1 Event

Going on its fifth year, the Purpose Summit brings together leaders in all areas of management seeking to make their organizations a better place to work and do business with, and to make life better for the customers, employees, or other stakeholders they serve. Many companies bring multiple managers to help foster alignment, according to the organizers.

The program summit programs include keynotes at The Revelry located in Camp North End, and breakout sessions and team-building experiences at the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
 
Each year, says Salvagno, “The Purpose Summit brings hundreds of for-profit, non-profit, and faith-driven leaders from around the globe together for three powerful days to build better relationships, better leaders, and better organizations, to create a better world.” The primary goal, he says, is to provide leaders at all levels with tools they can bring back to their work and people they can call upon for advice.
