Resilience & Reinvention: Thriving Through Turbulent Times

IIT Bay Area Leadership Conference 2023 embodies a powerful theme focused on thriving through turbulent times by embracing the principles of reinvention and resilience. Despite the challenging aftermath of the pandemic-induced "Great Reset," along with mounting inflation, the ongoing European conflict, a decline in GDP, and a deterioration of startup valuations, the conference aims to equip attendees with the tools and ideas necessary to navigate through this trying period with determination and strength.
