At Black Diamond Group, we know we’re living in an ever-changing world – disruption, macro-economics, end-market volatility, and government policy changes impact a company’s ability to plan for growth in the future. At the same time, innovation, technology advancements, government spending, and emerging markets present immense opportunity for businesses to capitalize on.
The key is to be ready for whatever the future might hold. That is the purpose of this strategy summit; we know there is no crystal ball to predict the future, but we also know our network is full of intelligent, experienced professionals and subject-matter experts who can help guide us as we try to envision what may unfold. That’s what this conference, presented by Black Diamond Group and LodgeLink, is all about – listening, learning, ideating, envisioning, connecting, and networking.
This year, ONWARD: A Visionary Summit took place on Thursday, June 20 in Calgary, Alberta.
