As senior executives who love our jobs, we’re fervent about the challenges in front of us. But it can be tough to devote sufficient time to explore our other passions.
At HMG Strategy, we’re committed to helping you grow on both a personal and professional level. That’s why we've launched HMG Adventures, a set of high-energy events for technology leaders who are looking for new ways to connect with their inner selves and discover fresh approaches to expand their leadership, courage, innovation, transformation, and reinvention capabilities on the path to genius.
Our inaugural event will take place at Snowbird, a four-season resort located just outside Salt Lake City, UT. While most of the time during the three-day event will be devoted to skiing and snowboarding, we will meet each morning and evening for networking and hear inspiring presentations from some of the industry’s top thought leaders.
