SAVE THE DATE - The Workforce Leadership Forum
Wednesday, September 30, 2026 8:45 AM - Thursday, October 1, 2026 4:00 PM (EDT)
Description
The Workforce Leadership Forum is a leadership convening designed for professionals who shape talent systems, workforce strategy, and policy across workforce development, education, and industry. As workforce, education, and employer priorities continue to converge, leaders are increasingly expected to influence outcomes beyond their own organizations. This Forum creates space for workforce practitioners, employers, HR and talent development leaders, education leaders, and system partners to come together around shared challenges, and ultimately, shared responsibility for solutions.
Over two days, participants will engage in leadership-focused learning, cross-sector dialogue, and applied advocacy that connects practice to policy. The Forum is designed to strengthen leadership voice, build alignment across systems, and demonstrate how workforce advocacy supports strong talent pipelines, economic competitiveness, and business outcomes.
Day One centers on leadership, influence, and system alignment through keynote insights and breakout discussions.
Day Two moves from learning to action, with advocacy training in the morning and coordinated visits to the Capitol in the afternoon to engage directly on workforce policy priorities.
This Forum is for leaders ready to move beyond managing programs, and into shaping systems.
