In addition to the awards, attendees to the Global Leadership Forum are invited to assist in planning for the Global Leadership Initiative in 2015, where top content and speakers will be selected and broadcast out to hundreds of host sites globally. This year’s 2014 event will focus on building the business plan for a massive global event in 2015, with plans to simulcast the event to over 1 million business people, thus creating the ‘Oscars’ of Leadership.
The goal for planning the 2015 event with many of the top thought leaders at the 2014 event is to ensure the support of global leadership, to make content accessible on any device as well as affordable for any use case, and to maintain the high quality content that is associated with the world’s top leaders. HR.com is looking for volunteers and committee members to assist in planning the 2015 event as well as host sites and global distribution partners.

For the first time ever, technology has enabled HR.com to globally broadcast keynotes and sessions live and add interactive participation to ensure leadership training is not a one time effort. Being an effective leader is an art and takes practice. This global event, coupled with a personal development app, enables leaders from any country to practice and track their leadership skills for three to five minutes a day. A Personal Excellence App will be launched at the Vail conference.
