ADDITIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

THE CLO OF TOMORROW

As business accelerates and explores the opportunities that lie within innovation, CLOs are facing a new type of business environment. To thrive in a learning leader role and propel the organization into the next phase, CLOs must be agile, interconnected and borderless in their efforts. Join Chief Learning Officer magazine at the CLO Breakfast Club as we examine the evolution of the CLO role from subservient leader to dynamic business partner as they pivot to meet the demands of modern business and the role learning plays during rapid growth.

Each attendee of the 2017 CLO Breakfast Club will receive a comprehensive Chief Learning Officer research report with insights from the CLO Business Intelligence Board.

The panel discussions in each city will focus on the following topics:

• Rethinking the CLO Role• Building a Learning Community

Organizations that sponsor four or more cities in one season, either spring or fall, will be invited to select one individual from their organization to sit for an interview with the editor in chief of Chief Learning Officer magazine immediately following one of the events. This interview will be included in the CLO Breakfast Club Video Library that will be made available at the conclusion of each season. The library will also feature highlights from the discussion at each event as well as each CLO keynote presentation/interview.

This added benefit includes:

• Professionally recording interview with 1 member of your organization. You will receive a copy of the interview for your own content marketing purposes.• Post-event registration list including email addresses for all registrants/viewers. • 30, 60 and 90 day registration updates.
