Network with Hundreds of Players

The Great Game of Business Conference is a melting pot of Great Game players, representing companies of all sizes, industries, and structures, from all over the world. They are uniquely and inherently transparent in their approach, and as a result more than willing to share their best practices and lessons learned. No matter your business gaps or specific challenges, you will connect with others who have tackled the same issues.

Even though this is a virtual conference, we've scheduled plenty of networking time in the agenda - because the casual conversations are as valuable than the formal courses. From Ask the Expert lunches, small group roundtables, A.I.-powered peer-to-peer matchmaking, private 1:1 meetings, and our interactive community scavenger hunt, participants will have ample opportunity to connect with players at all levels throughout the conference.

Save yourself time by avoiding what doesn’t work, and instead improve or personalize what others have done successfully by leveraging their lessons learned. And don't forget to take full advantage of our A.I.-powered matchmatch by fully completing your bio... through the power of modern technology, you will get suggestions of people you need to know and the opportunity to set up face-to-face meetings with them.

Improve Your Bottom Line

This conference shows you exactly how to make improvements in your business immediately. hands-on workshops and breakout sessions led by players of The Game, coaches and top management experts bring the concepts of accountability and ownership thinking to life.

identify simple numbers for your management team to focus on
crank up your Huddle engagement
make your financial literacy training more fun
incorporate a dispersed workforce into your Huddles
design powerful short-term, mid-term and long-term incentives
