This week we're taking the time to celebrate member firms having global impact and success at the Global Chamber® 2023 Global Innovation & Excellence Awards, "The Global 50"!
Every day we chat with members across 525 chapters, and this month we're doing a rapid-fire celebration recognizing remarkable leaders with inspiring stories... to learn from, and be inspired.
Join us for one or more of the 5 (five) programs of 60 minutes, 12+ leaders each, over 4 days this week, with scheduling to capture the world to attend live. And the programs are recorded for members.
The award winners each demonstrate global innovation and excellence, with capabilities, passion, growth, success, innovation, resilience, community leadership and impact.
The process to select the winners was to identify not only those with significant accomplishments, but also market leaders and trend setters with global business, who are blazing new, global trails.
Our global team has reviewed the winners, and we announce them this week... and the programs are set for April 4th through 7th, 5 programs, two on Wednesday! Extra-extraordinary leaders!
HERE is the first session and all of them April 4-7, 2023.
