I had the privilege to attend the Disruptive Leadership Conference in 2023. As a first time attendee, I did not know what to expect. The selection of speakers and their topic/content were impactful. I had such amazing and influential conversations with speakers and attendees. I would recommend this conference. Great Job GO BLUE and TEAM. You made my experience memorable. My favorite quote “Don’t leave a legacy, but live a legacy.” - Dr. Consuelo Castillo Kickbusch.
