The local intelligence gathering is a celebration of our region’s amazing expertise. As challenges arise in the future, it is good to remember how fortunate we are to have such a diverse array of talent, experience, innovation, and skill. The Gathering will celebrate our abilities, help us connect to each other and to the experts in our midst, and catalyze deeper engagement in the community we love.

The Gathering will be an all-day event.
