Description

Join the Ascend Los Angeles Metro Chapter’s Inspiring Across Generations (IAG) conference as we explore how leadership today shapes the opportunities of tomorrow. Grounded in the national Ascend Engage 2025 theme, “Leading for Our Future” invites students, professionals, and executives to engage in bold conversations about innovation, community, and purpose.

Through dynamic keynotes, interactive workshops, and intergenerational panels, we will examine how emerging technologies, cultural shifts, and diverse perspectives are reimagining industries and redefining leadership. Whether you’re building your foundation, advancing your career, or leading organizations and communities, this year’s IAG will inspire you to lead with vision, resilience, and impact. Together, we’re not only navigating a changing workforce—we’re shaping the future.
