Andy Stanley, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak at Leadercast Live Friday
Pastor Andy Stanley, Steve Wozniak, Kat Cole and other top leaders will share their leadership skills and tips during the Leadercast Live event on Friday.
The event will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Infinite Energy Arena, 6400 Sugarloaf Pkwy. in Duluth. It will also be simulcast to various locations around the world.
More than 125,000 worldwide are expected to participate in the event, including about 6,000 at the arena in Duluth.
The theme, “Architects of Tomorrow”, will center around four areas that leaders should explore for the future. Speakers represent some of the top leaders in business, religion and sports.
Among them are Andy Stanley, senior pastor of North Point Ministries; Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak; Nick Saban, head football coach at the University of Alabama; and Kat Cole, group president of Focus Brands.
Leadercast CEO Keith Wilmot said the mission is to “build leaders who are worth following. Looking at the state of leadership keeps up us at night,” he said. “Eighty-five percent of the population things there is a leadership crisis. Three out of four people will take a new boss over a pay raise.”
Wilmot said one reason he picked Atlanta for the event is that they city can be the “hub of global leadership in the future. It is now, but it can be even more so.”
Leadercast will also host the first Leadercast Labs, which offers a hands-on environment where attendees will receive in-depth insight from leaders to help them shape their vision.
Twenty percent of the proceeds from the Leadercast Labs event will benefit Relay For Life.
Tickets range from $69 to $900.
