Event Overview
The Leadership Gap:
Why the Champions Summit?
Many companies invest heavily in mid-level leadership development and provide strong peer networks for CEOs. Yet, the leaders on the cusp of the C-Suite—those 1-2 levels away—are often left to navigate the transition alone. They’ve outgrown general leadership training, but they haven’t yet gained access to the executive-level insights, networks, and strategic thinking frameworks needed to thrive at the top.
This is the void the Champions Summit was built to fill.
Designed in collaboration with Calgary’s top C-Suite executives and rising leaders across industries, this event delivers exactly what high-potential future executives need:
Unfiltered CEO insights on what it really takes to succeed at the highest level
Exclusive access to a cross-industry network of Calgary’s most promising leaders
Elite high-performance strategies from Olympic athletes and world-class performers
A launchpad for ongoing leadership development—beyond just a two-day event
There’s nothing equivalent to this in Calgary or the region. This is not just another leadership conference—it’s an intimate, high-impact experience designed to shape the next generation of executive leadership.
Who Should Attend?
This event is designed specifically for:
Rising Executives – Leaders identified by their organizations as high-potential future C-Suite or Executive Leadership Team members (1-2 levels below C-Suite).
Current Executives & Business Leaders – Attending as mentors and panelists, providing invaluable real-world context for the next generation.
Elite Performers from Sport & Music – Sharing insights on performance under pressure, resilience, and excellence.
