The Illinois CPA Society’s Young Professionals Leadership Conference positions the next generation of finance and accounting professionals for future success, and this year’s conference features strategies to bring connectivity into the workplace. Additional presentations include insight into creating power teams, relationship-building for business opportunities and a case study in destructive culture.
The keynote speech, Social Gravity, given by Talent Anarchy Founder and renowned author and presenter, Jason Lauritsen, reveals how to take unexpected opportunities to connect with others and turn them into meaningful and profitable relationships.
