Southeastern University will once again host its annual leadership Forum on March 14, 2019. The event will include entrepreneur Bill Rancic, with his television personality wife Giuliana, vice chairman at Morgan Stanley Carla Harris, CEO of Capella Hotel Group Horst Schulze, motivational speaker Jon Gordon and many more. While the event is similar to last year’s Forum, with an emphasis on leadership training, the 2019 event will be different in several ways. Instead of a two-day event, the conference will be one day to better accommodate the schedule of busy professionals. In addition to main stage speakers, several special breakout sessions will be offered throughout the day focusing on personal, community and team development, enabling participants to customize their Forum experience and choose sessions that align with their interests. A scholarship gala is also being planned for the evening of Friday, March 15. The speaker for the gala will be announced soon.
General Admission tickets will be offered at an Early Bird Rate of $99 through January 14. Beginning January 15, the General Admission ticket price will increase to $149. General Admission tickets include all Forum general sessions, Forum breakout sessions, speaker book signing opportunities, and networking opportunities. Premium tickets are priced at $249 and include reserved parking, a fast pass for check-in and book signing lines, reserved seating at both the general and breakout sessions, and a dining card for lunch. A new ticket option this year is the Investor Pass at $349. This pass includes reserved parking, a private shuttle to the location, breakfast with Jon Gordon, lunch with Bill and Giuliana Rancic, a fast pass for book signings, prime seating, and access to investor spaces.
