The most valuable conversations aren't predetermined — they're shaped by the leaders in the room.

At the 2026 FICP Strategic Leaders Event, discussion topics are influenced by fellow strategic leaders, creating an executive-level learning experience focused on today's most pressing priorities. From business management to event measurement and optimization, every program is designed to encourage candid dialogue, shared perspectives and practical takeaways that extend far beyond the event.

We anticipate participants will have the opportunity to earn 8 CMP-eligible hours.
