The world is at a tipping point…
…and forces of change are pulling us in multiple directions. The future depends on healthy, productive businesses that deliver differentiated, deep, and durable experiences. At the heart of that is how well people and teams come together and how well they are led. The role of the CPO has never been more critical.
October 15-17 in Park City, Utah, Heidrick & Struggles is convening legendary and next-gen CPOs from around the globe — to connect, debate, re-energize, and fuel up with new inspiration and ideas to lead the world even more powerfully.
A Unique Experience
Real time & space
This is a retreat to offer CPOs the time and space to connect with peers, to talk openly and feel tended to — a time for CPOs to be transparent about their successes and challenges in a communal (not to mention, beautiful) environment.
Deep connection
We will create unique opportunities to learn from esteemed experts with extensive relevant knowledge, as well as to connect with colleagues and peers, deepening relationships that will last well beyond the Summit.
stimulus
Most events major on the content, but we want this to be a cut above. We will showcase world-leading perspectives and insight — amplified in a magnificent setting — that will leave you inspired and fired up for action.
Epic
Collective impact
Real impact will come from businesses working together across the boundaries that divide us. CPOs can lead the way forward, powered by quality conversation and a collective mind, making sense of big things together.

Featuring…
Dr. Condoleezza Rice | 66th Secretary of State
We are delighted that 66th Secretary of State Dr. Condoleezza Rice will join us for a special fireside chat, moderated by Donna Morris, EVP and Chief People Officer for Walmart. In today’s ever-evolving geopolitical landscape, Secretary Rice’s insights will be an invaluable feature of this inaugural Summit, and we are thrilled she will be with us.
Secretary Rice is joined by an array of esteemed guest speakers — including Laszlo Bock and Nicholas Bloom — sharing their expertise and observations on The Future of HR, Evolving Workforce Demographics, and Crisis Management, with panel topics including CEO Succession and Artificial Intelligence.
