Why should you attend?

There isn’t a CEO among us who doesn’t need to think seriously about attracting and retaining talent, and building a company that will go the distance.

Here’s what you’ll get:

  • Irrefutable observations and facts on why business must change
  • Insights to experience true vocation in your work, plus the contagious and mountain-moving impact it will have in your company
  • Keys to unleash vocation in your people, so they can contribute to your growth in ways you never imagined
  • Inspiration to reimagine the future of business, because it’s good for your business
  • Methods to cultivate multiple forms of capital and build persistent value for your company
  • Know-how to build a great company that is resilient, sustainable, and lasting – after all, isn’t that what we’re really trying to do?

Don’t let anything get in the way of your chance to attend. 

CULTIVATE

VIRTUAL EVENT

Tuesday, October 12th, 8–9:30 am
700+ CEOs

A short, sweet, highly potent virtual event for the CEO who’s ready to collaborate with peers, share hard-earned insights,

and challenge their thinking in brand new ways.

 

What You'll Experience

A curated breakout session to learn from other CEOs at your same level, as you share hard-earned lessons and best practices that have emerged over the last year and a half.

An actionable, thought-provoking keynote where you’ll hear timely insights on the future of business from one of the most respected leaders in regenerative organizational design, Matt Stinchcomb. We guarantee you’ll leave thinking differently about 2022!

REGISTER NOW!

Interested in the CULTIVATE virtual Session?

Who is it for? CEOs, Presidents and Owners leading companies from $1M to over $250M.

Ticket price: $95 or FREE to CEOs invited by one of our generous sponsors.

For all sessions, your breakout session will be curated, so that you can engage with CEOs at your level.

THE CEO FORUM FIELD GUIDE

Every attendee will receive a Field Guide to help you and your leadership team directly apply the concepts you learn at the CEO Forum.

Ten Field Guide sections have been strategically chosen, representing key disciplines every CEO needs to successfully grow your company. Our speaker and partners will assist in preparing thoughtful insights and resources to help you design and plan for the most successful 2022 possible.

Why now?

Consider the many challenges you face as a CEO—a distributed workforce, countless employee distractions, societal tension and anxiety at epidemic levels, global uncertainty—all now part of your new environment. These things pale in comparison to what is coming…a future workforce that will force change in ways you can’t yet even imagine.

There have been a few transformational moments like this in history where the old ways of doing things erode under our feet. The future of your company is in your hands, and only YOU can decide what to do about it.

Our speaker, Matt Stinchcomb, was ahead of the curve. As a cofounder of Etsy, he began to master a new mindset and a completely new set of skills to build durable economies and good communities, applying them within the company in the early years as it grew from $0 to $75M. As it turns out, these precepts and skills are exactly how you address what’s coming.

The future never fails to become the present. The good news is you have time to begin a new education and prepare to meet the challenges that lie ahead. That time is now.

About
Matt Stinchcomb

Matt Stinchcomb is the kind of guy who seems more comfortable playing in an indie rock band, screen printing t-shirts, and walking in the woods than cofounding a billion-dollar company, starting a transformational foundation, and becoming an expert in regenerative organizational design. It’s part of his charm, and he laughs often, pulls new ideas out of thin air, and cares deeply about the way we tend to our communities and planet.

As a founder and longest-tenured employee of Etsy, an online platform that enables people to sell their handmade crafts and goods to buyers worldwide, Matt helped the company reimagine commerce with a complete “shift in consciousness,” as he calls it. “We have to fundamentally reimagine the purpose of business and what success looks like.” Contrary to many stigmas, Etsy chose a sustainable model of business that transformed local economies at a global scale and grew massively and made money at the same time.

Since leaving Etsy in 2015 when the company reached $75M, Matt founded and led the Good Work Institute and currently serves as Board Chair. He also serves on the Board of Directors for the Schumacher Center for a New Economics and Hawthorne Valley Association. His awards and accolades are too numerous to list, and he wouldn’t want us to make a big deal about them anyway.
