LADDERS SUMMIT

The Ladders Summit is an in-person annual event exclusive to Ladders members. It’s the culmination and focal point of the season and features personal and professional education sessions, networking events and presentations from the Final Four teams. Though registration for Summit is complimentary, individual members are responsible for their T&E (meals during Summit are also included with the complimentary registration). It is typically held in May over the course of 4 days (opening on Day 1 with an evening reception, followed by two full days of content and networking, and closing the next and last day with an annual give-back event in the local community). The dates and location for the 2024 have not yet been determined, but will be finalized in the coming months.
By checking below, you acknowledge that although the Ladders Summit is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended to all to attend.*
