天美网站传媒传媒 is rewriting the script for leadership conferences with its upcoming scheduled for Sept. 11-12 in Vancouver, BC.

In fact, there will be no script. Or at least not in the sense of a traditional conference where speakers fill an allotted time slot to present on a topic they鈥檙e passionate about, then wait to see how their message lands by the kinds of questions that surface from the audience.

天美网站传媒传媒鈥檚 first-ever corporate leadership summit will be less about the presentations and more about the discussion that follows, says , 天美网站传媒传媒鈥檚 new Chief People Officer.

Wood will take the stage at the summit along with a half dozen other trailblazing leaders from organizations across North America.

鈥淭he content and direction will be audience-driven,鈥� Wood shares. 鈥淭he question period will eclipse the actual speaking content. What happens there will be more lengthy, more rich, and more controversial than anything you鈥檙e going to hear in a 20-minute presentation.鈥�

Wood鈥檚 career as an HR innovator, speaker and coach spans 20 years. Most recently she spent a decade as VP of Talent Development at Cineplex Entertainment, where she helped build a culture of collaboration, learning, and transformation.

At 聽, Wood and other speakers will use 天美网站传媒传媒 to empower attendees to drive the discussions toward topics and issues that are most important to them. It鈥檚 a format that promises to be both exciting and challenging for participants, Wood says. 聽

Dynamic, thought-provoking and occasionally controversial

When Wood reached out to her professional network about the summit, the instant positive response confirmed just how much bright leaders want to disrupt the conference space. They are ready to trade a stale, tightly-scripted format that leaves attendees cold for something much more dynamic, thought-provoking, rewarding and occasionally controversial.

鈥淢ost conferences are over-indexed on the content and under-indexed on the collaboration,鈥� says , director of Learning and Talent for , one of the leaders also speaking at 鈥�#TeEmpowerVancouver. 鈥�This summit will be like a form of improv. I鈥檓 really looking forward to it.鈥�

鈥淎udience-driven content will create more excitement and as a leader, I鈥檒l be able to tailor my presentation to what people want to hear.鈥� 鈥� Nicole Jensen, VP of Learning and Development, CI Investments

Fellow presenter , VP of Learning and Development at , is also excited about a summit format that puts authentic sharing and learning at the forefront for the agenda.

鈥淲e all want successful companies and engaged employees,鈥� Jensen says. 鈥淎udience-driven content will create more excitement and as a leader, I鈥檒l be able to tailor my presentation to what people want to hear.鈥�

According to Wood, if you鈥檙e expecting a conference where half the audience is distractedly tapping on phones, then this won鈥檛 be the event for you.

鈥淭his is what we need to be doing. We need to be challenging each other, we need to be talking more,鈥� Wood says. 鈥淭hese leaders are at a point in their careers where they want to push themselves.鈥�
