Exploring the science, emerging trends, and strategic foresight required for leading organizations through constant disruption, while producing breakthrough results.
12TH ANNUAL INSIGNIAM EXECUTIVE SUMMIT
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA
JUNE 3-4
THE INN AT PENN
The Insigniam Executive Summit is for Insigniam clients, offering a rich atmosphere to hear fresh new ideas, elevate their leadership, network, think newly, and share in celebrating breakthrough results.
The future is wrought with uncertainty. As we lead enterprises in the pursuit of breakthrough results amid some of the most turbulent and unpredictable times in history, the future becomes even more opaque. The 2019 Executive Summit features two renowned thinkers in their respective fields of Psychology/Neuroscience and Strategic Foresight. They will share their perspective and research around the mindsets, ideas, and foresight needed to succeed in the future. How can something as pervasive as neuroscience not be considered? How can we equip ourselves to look into the horizon to identify the next meaningful innovation? The 2019 Executive Summit seeks to answer these questions, and offer the opportunity to glean insights from your peers.

Check out the highlights from last year’s event!
In this year’s summit, we will explore leadership thinking, behaviors and practices that are outside the familiar tenets of leadership that we have all repeatedly heard. We’ve all received plenty of training and development around leadership. This year, we’re going to look at the spaces and blind spots which we may have not sufficiently explored. This year’s Summit will include:
- A networking dinner the evening before the event
- A deep-dive discussion and Q&A session with Martin E.P. Seligman, Ph.D. about dealing with our mindset, positivity, and how that might be impacting your organization’s results.
- An exploration into emerging trends with Futurist, Amy Webb. What is the future of tech, and how to deploy strategic foresight to lead our enterprises?
Together, we will generate actionable insights into questions such as:
- What is my mindset, really? How do I get some control over it?
- How is positivity, optimism, and pessimism a driver, or a hindrance, on my success.
- What role does psychology play in my organization’s results?
- What is the next futuristic trend that could disrupt my industry?
Intention
The intent of the 2019 Insigniam Executive Summit is to give the clients of Insigniam and their colleagues a forum in which to share and discuss their experiences, learn more about themselves and why they operate the way they do, and how to make a meaningful impact in elevating their organization’s results. The discussions will be run so attendees can incorporate insights gleaned from actual experiences among high performers across a variety of disciplines and industries, and to create actionable common elements for generating breakthrough results.
