Wharton Leaders

A top slate of influential speakers, from news analyst and White House advisor to four U.S. presidents David Gergen to American Express CEO Ken Chenault, will converge at Wharton this June for the 12th annual Wharton Leadership Conference. The June 18 event was cited in a recent Forbes.com article as the second most popular and beneficial executive-level “must-attend” event based on the number of all-star CEO speakers, second only to the Fortune Innovation/ Fortune iMeme conference.

This year’s event — which will also include William Weldon, chair and CEO of Johnson & Johnson; Colleen C. Barrett, president and corporate secretary for Southwest Airlines; and Wharton professors Peter Cappelli and Michael Useem, among other high-level executives — focuses on “Emerging Trends in the Search for Leadership.” For more information or to register for the event, call 215.898.5605 or see http://leadershipconference.wharton.upenn.edu.
