Mayor Mallory has scheduled a 2pm press conference where he will announce that Cincinnati has landed the 6th Annual Next Leaders Summit (formerly called the YP Summit). The convention will be held at the Duke Energy Convention Center downtown and take place during Oktoberfest week – September 17th – 19th.
The Next Leaders Summit is “dedicated to dialogue, experimentation and best practice sharing from within and outside the Young Professionals movement.” The Summit will bring in Young Professionals, and leaders in the YP community, from all over the nation.
The two-day plus conference will provide the next wave of leaders a chance to learn, engage and interact with national and local leaders, and socialize at after hours events throughout Cincinnati. The Summit is sponsored by Next Generation Consulting and hosted by Mayor Mallory’s Young Professionals Kitchen Cabinet (YPKC), who had the honor of being awarded the YPO “Best Practices” Award at last year’s Summit in Florida.
In addition to the “Best Practices” Award, Cincinnati also made the list of Best Cities in the U.S. for Next Gen Workers coming in at #7 for cities with populations between 200,000 – 500,000. Columbus, Ohio took the #10 spot for cities with more than 500,000 people.
Partial agenda items for 6th Annual Next Leaders Summit:
- Learn about their individual leadership strengths, and how to leverage them at work and with their Young Professionals Organization (YPO);
- Have an immersion course in online and offline community organizing. (How did Obama do it? You’ll learn the techniques and technologies here.)
- Meet with YPO leaders from similarly sized cities to talk about issues relevant to small, medium and large cities.
