What is Leadercast Live?
 Leadercast Live is the largest one-day leadership event in the world.
 Broadcast live each year from Atlanta to 100,000+ people in hundreds
 of locations around the world, Leadercast Live brings together many of
 the world's most recognized and respected global leaders to create a
 leadership experience unlike any other.
 
 The theme for 2016 is Architects of Tomorrow Each year at Leadercast
 Live, we facilitate the largest one-day leadership event in the world
 by creating an epic leadership experience.
 Leadercast 2016 will focus on what it means to be a visionary leader.
 Visionary leaders have the ability to see a preferred future, operate
 in the present, and utilize the resources around them to architect a
 clear path to a new destination. They work tirelessly to empower those
 around them to bring a vision to life.
 Architects of Tomorrow imagine a future that is rich and full of hope.
 A future where problems are solved, questions are answered, confusion
 gives way to clarity.
 In its simplest form, leadership is casting a compelling vision and
 mobilizing those around you to help you fulfill that vision. That is
 the role of Vision Architects... they design the path, they clarify
 the direction, and they lead their team toward that preferred future
 with little deviation.
Today is better because of the visionary leaders of yesterday, and the
future will be brighter because of the Architects of Tomorrow.
