Research Leadership
Summit

Wednesday June 5. 9am – 5pm PST.
Gallery 308 at Fort Mason Center, San Francisco.

Research leadership is lonely. But it doesn’t have to be.

When you’re running a research function, especially in a large organization, there’s not a lot of places you can turn to for support. To get help, you need to think outside of the org.

That’s why you should join us at our second annual Research Leadership Summit. It’s a time for new connections, conversations, and fun with a group of people who understand what you’re going through.

The content for this event will be curated and created by the group in the weeks leading up to the summit. We look forward to hearing from you about the topics you’re interested in!

In this talk, George walks you through some of his most trusted tactics for successfully communicating research insights.
