Register Now Summit Brochure

See what awaits you at Summit 2025 – where innovation meets inspiration, and administrative professionals transform their careers. Discover cutting-edge insights, connect with industry leaders, and unlock your next level of professional excellence.

Leadership. A word used often in business but has become synonymous with titles, roles, and corporate ladders. However, leadership is available to us all and transforms the what we do into how and why we do it. Leadership competencies give us essential insight into all aspects of our lives, from tasks, to technology, to people interactions; insight that can transform us into the confident, equipped, knowledgeable, capable professionals we aspire to be.
