A special dinner event will feature our first Atlanta-based culture pioneer who will share current best practices from their hands-on experience as a leading culture builder.
DAY 2 — THURSDAY, APRIL 27
The second day of Gather will be a robust time of learning beginning with a talk from one of our Atlanta-based culture pioneers. Then returning as a Coach is Culture Pioneer, Chick-fil-A legend, and Fellowship favorite, David Salyers! In addition to speaking and participating in Q&A, David will be taking Gather attendees on an exclusive tour of the Chick-fil-A corporate campus and innovation center, where participants will also hear from a variety of Chick-fil-A leaders from past, present, and future! Teryluz Andreu, Axialent Partner and Culture Expert, will also be returning to facilitate interactive workshops with peer-to-peer learning and help put what we learn into practice. Thursday evening’s dinner will be a special offsite with time to celebrate all that the attending Fellows have accomplished and hear from another Atlanta culture legend.
DAY 3 — FRIDAY, APRIL 28
The final morning of Gather will focus around action planning for the next steps in attendees’ culture-building work and feature a VIP tour experience of Trilith Studios (known for producing many major TV films, including many from Marvel) for a learning session and behind-the-scenes tour! Trilith was founded on the principle that creative community can and should exist; that’s why they’ve taken a unique approach to culture-building that attendees of Gather will have the opportunity to learn about firsthand.
We’ll be hosted by Trilith Development Director of Operations, Jake Pitman, as well as the Executive Director of the Trilith Foundation and Keynote Speaker, Elizabeth Dixon, who will be sharing about the intentionality that has gone behind the development of Trilith, and why that culture has led to Trilith customers paying 2-3X what they will pay Trilith’s competitor. The program will wrap following lunch to provide attendees with ample time to travel home for the weekend!
UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR FELLOWS
As we all know, culture isn’t a faucet you can turn on and off. It requires constant nourishment- both for the organization AND the leader. Gather is a chance to not only continue to take strides in creating the culture of your dreams, but to invest in the personal and leadership development that’s required to make that a reality.
Be sure to join us in Atlanta for:
- Keynotes and Q&A with guest speakers on timely topics such as innovation and the future of work
- VIP city-specific learning experiences not available to the general public including a tour of the Chick-fil-A headquarters
