Emerging Leaders Conference: Amplify

United States, Austin, Texas - August 11, 2021
Emerging Leaders Conference: Amplify A Conference for Young Professionals in Material Handling
Co-Presented by MHEDA and MHI
JW Marriott Austin - Austin, Texas

Hey Emerging Leaders! After a crazy year, are you ready to get out of the office and start working on those leadership skills again? We got you!

MHEDA and MHI are proud to present the 9th Annual Emerging Leaders Conference - LIVE and IN-PERSON! Yes, you read that correctly. We are planning a safe, fun and memorable one-day Emerging Leaders Conference in scenic and bustling Austin, Texas. This event is designed for material handling professionals who want to amplify their knowledge on how to be a stronger, more authentic and purposeful leader for a new world.

And because it has been one heck of a year - we are making this event better, bolder and brighter than ever before. We invited our two favorite rock star experts Jim Knight and Brant Menswar to headline the conference with a fun twist on leadership training so that you graduate from the event as a 'Certified Rock Star!' We've also invited the engaging and worldly Sylvie di Giusto (who is Austrian by birth, French in her heart, Italian in her kitchen, German in her work ethic, and American by choice!) to help you package yourself as a polished, professional material handling executive.

Beyond the leadership training, you will experience several interactive networking exercises that will get you out of your chair and moving around the room to connect with your industry peers.
