“This past year, our industry experienced such a radical wave of innovation and also volatility, it’s no surprise that as we emerge from the pandemic, we’re on new ground, facing new challenges, but also exciting opportunities that are unique to each of us but not necessarily foreign to all of us. Because of this, we thought it was crucial to open up our event to involve even more community connection and idea sharing,” said Mark Graham, commonsku’s president and chief branding officer. “We’re excited about the format this year because it involves the best of both worlds: high impact leaders sharing insight from the stage but also peer-to-peer sharing among the industry’s most progressive and creative entrepreneurs.”
