ICN Community Success Stories & the ICN Year-in-Review

Speakers: the ICN leadership team and you!

Let’s finish on a high note. It’s open mic time and we want to hear from you! All ICNers are welcome to speak. Yes, we’ll hit the highnotes from the ICN’s tremendous year and take suggestions for where to take the ICN, but we’d love to hear from you on your success and plans, too!

Who made success happen this year? Who broke through? Who figured out just what their new employer was looking for? Who made a new commitment to insights consulting?

Come prepared to share! Recognizing your wins will inspire others to break through their own barriers.
