Emerging industry leaders invited to attend inaugural XBO experience, co-hosted by NSCA and Ignite.
The integration industry is evolving at a rapid pace, and the National Systems Contractors Association (NSCA) and Ignite are addressing the need for empowering the next generation of leaders with their upcoming event, the XBO Experience. This two-day conference, taking place on Nov. 12-13 in Atlanta on the Georgia Tech campus, is set to provide a unique platform for rising stars in the industry to build critical skills for leadership positions.
The XBO Experience is more than just a conference; it's an "un-conference" aimed at addressing workforce development challenges in the industry. This year's event is the first-ever XBO (Excellence in Business Operations) Experience, designed specifically for future integration firm leaders.
The curriculum of the XBO Experience is based on topics from NSCA's Next Generation Academy, a series of integration company leadership education topics. Attendees can expect to gain insights into various aspects of leadership, including industry insights, business strategies, and leadership development.
One of the key focuses of the XBO Experience is on the role of trust in the workplace and its impact on authority. The event will delve into the importance of emotional intelligence for leaders, offering guidance on navigating workplace conflicts through tough conversations. Attendees will also learn about different communication styles to prevent misinterpretation and improve their overall effectiveness.
In addition to these skills, the XBO Experience will provide training on delegation and losing control effectively, a crucial aspect of leadership. Attendees will also gain understanding of the domino effect and its potential for positive change in the industry.
The XBO Experience is open to all rising industry stars, regardless of their job titles. Young professionals who have recently taken on leadership roles but lack experience and training can greatly benefit from attending. Sponsors for the event include Exertis Almo, Extron, Q-SYS, and Shure.
Whether you're an employee of an integration firm showing leadership potential or a young professional looking to improve your leadership skills, the XBO Experience offers a valuable opportunity for growth and development. By attending, you'll not only gain insights into becoming a globally competent leader, but also network with other like-minded individuals in the industry, setting you on a path towards future success.
For those interested in attending the XBO Experience, mark your calendars for Nov. 12-13 in Atlanta. The event promises to be a transformative experience, equipping attendees with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed and lead in the evolving integration market.
