While you’re still basking in the afterglow of the Gathering of Games, we wanted to share with you an additional opportunity to build relationships with some great leaders who have a deep commitment to values and collaboration from our friends at the Small Giants Community. (A number of whom are Great Game of Business practitioners.) It’s a quick turnaround, but definitely worth your effort. The 2015 Small Giants Summit in Dallas on September 20 - 23 has attendees from South Africa, the United States, Canada, Mexico, France, Japan and Brazil and is an excellent opportunity for global learning on an intimate scale.

The program includes:
• Fast paced workshop and networking sessions designed to get the best of peers’ insights on your issues.
• Panels of Small Giants bringing you into their stories of growth, change and impact with a focus on the intersection of philosophy and best practices.
• Group social events that highlight Dallas’ unique history, personality and values.
• Insights from international Small Giants leaders about building a great company while managing different cultures.
• Complete access to all of the Summit presenters, panelists, interviewers, etc.
• Opportunities to go inside of Small Giant companies for behind-the-scenes looks at how these company grow and create impact.
