Attend Leadercast at NJPA in Staples

World's largest one-day leadership conference to be broadcast live at NJPA in Staples on May 4

STAPLES, Minn. (19 April 2017) — Leadercast is the world's largest one-day leadership conference, broadcast LIVE from Atlanta and simulcast to hundreds of locations around the world on May 4, 2018. The theme for this year's conference is “Lead Yourself,” with messaging to help us better understand what it looks like to lead ourselves and how we can intentionally develop our own leadership skills and style.

This year marks the 18th year of the annual leadership conference and the fourth year that National Joint Powers Alliance® will be hosting the event at its building in Staples. NJPA has a conference license for 200 attendees, with 40 spots still available.

“Leadercast is an excellent chance for members of our community to come together and experience expert and inspirational speakers in the complex realm of leadership,” says Drange. “It seems that no matter who takes the stage for this annual event, their messages are always timely and really build off one another, making the year's theme resonate.”

Leadercast Live will allow attendees and viewers to improve their own personal leadership journey with tips for self-evaluation and self-growth. Top leadership experts will inspire those attending the local event, and the more than 100,000 people who will attend the event live in Atlanta or at hundreds of other simulcast locations in more than 20 countries.
