This is our first in a series of articles we will be publishing in regard to this year's Sage Summit being held in New Orleans. As part of Insightful Accountant's expanding focus we believe all of our readers can be enlightened with information we will cover from the Summit.
Sage advertises this year’s Summit as an “event to learn, network and connect featuring hundreds of sessions and more than 70 speakers all focused on helping you grow your business.”
Looking at the list of headliners I don’t know whether to categorize the Summit as an opportunity for attendees to become a ‘mental magnet’ or an ‘intellectual sponge’ as these thought leaders provide the opportunity for us to absorb as much as our craniums can contain.
With successful careers at the highest levels of the military, government and business, Retired Four-Star U.S. Army General, Secretary of State, National Security Advisor, Commander of the U.S. Army Forces Command, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Colin L. Powell, has a keenly developed sense of perspective on the business sector, our economy, our Nation and our world.
Deepak Chopra is a physician and pioneer in the field of alternative medicine, a best-selling author, and an educator. He is the founder of The Chopra Foundation, and is a champion for a business approach he calls "enlightened leadership”.
These two thought leaders will join Sage CEO Stephen Kelly to discuss the challenges and opportunities that come with today’s changing world and will share their stories of success, failure and reinvention. They will be speaking to the more than 7500 (estimated) in attendance during the Sage Conversation Keynote on Tuesday, July 28th being held at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, 900 Convention Center Blvd., in New Orleans. See the website for more information regarding the 2015 Sage Summit.
