Speaker & Cohort Connect in the Virtual Lodge
1:00 – 3:00 PM Central

Following a day of robust workshops, use this time to connect with speakers and reconnect with colleagues at subject matter focused roundtables in the popular remo.co platform. The last 45 minutes of the Virtual Lodge will let you meet with colleagues for a “drink” at the bar, by the fireplace or at the picnic tables!

About Cohorts: The Alliance will be assigning CEOs and C Suite executives to small groups that will meet virtually once in August 2021 and February 2022 for the purpose of sharing resources and building camaraderie. Each cohort will be a mix of top executives from small, medium, and large-sized fraternals.
