Churchill Club proudly presents the 9th annual CHURCHILLS — a magical event that inspires us to aim higher and do more to advance innovation, leadership, collaboration, and social benefit.
Our esteemed speakers are nominated for their contributions to four areas of excellence by the Churchill Club Academy, more than 700 innovation-community members comprised of industry leaders and other professionals, entrepreneurs, investors, students, faculty, and journalists.
Honorable speakers for each distinction appear in the spirit of “giving back” — by sharing their perspectives and insights about what is needed to innovate, lead, collaborate, and contribute to the greater good.
Rich Karlgaard, publisher of Forbes and co-founder of Churchill Club, is our master of ceremonies for one extraordinary evening.
