Join us for our Annual Emerging Leader Night:
The Power of the Team: Unlocking the Collective Win, from Intern to Executive.
Our Emerging Leader Night is back! An exclusive event dedicated to the future of finance. This year, our theme is “Every Role Drives the Win!” Hear from our inspiring keynote speaker, Joanna Lohman, on how every role—whether in the spotlight or behind the scenes—is crucial to a team's success. This is an unparalleled opportunity for rising professionals to network with peers and seasoned executives, gain invaluable insights, and learn how to elevate their contributions to the entire organization. We invite you to bring your up-and-coming team members and invest in the next generation of financial leaders!
What is an Emerging Leader?
Do you have someone on your team or within your organization who you see as a leader within the next 5-10 years? We invite you to bring your up-and-coming financial team member to network and meet others at their level - the future leaders!
Criteria can include:
- Employees who need to finesse their networking skills
- Team members looking to grow in their career and within your organization
- Frontline members of your team who would engage with a frontline strategic partner's team member, regardless of qualifications.
Emerging Leaders can be recent graduates within the last 3- 5 years, who are ready to take that next step in the industry or professionals you have been working with for some time who are ready to start engaging more!
Members are invited to bring 1 Emerging Leader from their organization.
Strategic Partners may bring the number of Emerging Leaders equivalent to their sponsorship level attendance policy.
Please find additional cost details below.
Event Agenda

- 6:45 p.m. - 7:15 p.m. – Dinner
- 7:15 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. - Welcome & Keynote Presentation, “The Greatest Contributions You’ll Never See: How Every Role Drives the Win”, with Keynote speaker, Joanna Lohman, High Impact Inspirational Speaker and Leadership Coach.
Joanna Lohman wasn’t the star who scored the winning goal. She didn’t have her face on the Wheaties box. But behind the scenes, Joanna Lohman was the heartbeat of the team – the culture-setter, the connector, and the glue that made greatness possible. The real game-changers aren’t always in the spotlight.
Great teams win because every role matters. The most impactful contributors are often the ones who create the conditions for greatness, setting the stage so others can shine, and turning individual brilliance into collective victory.
Attendees will learn:
- How to recognize the unseen contributions that fuel success and learn how to value the essential work done in the shadows.
- Understand true leadership is about creating the conditions for others to thrive and empowering every team member to unlock their highest value.
- To embrace their unique role and unleash a skill set that creates maximum impact, not maximum visibility.
- Understand the principles of a strong, resilient company culture and how they lead to continuous improvement and collective victory.
