THE PRODUCTION

A national covening, produced for an international audience.

Most conferences hand you a lanyard and a room full of panels. This one is directed from a control room.

​

The entire day is executive produced by Andy Regal, an Emmy-nominated, Loeb Award-winning media executive who ran video at The Wall Street Journal and CNBC, and whose book Surviving Bully Culture earned a starred review from Kirkus. His crew will be live for every speaker and every panel.

​

That is deliberate. Workplace harm survives on silence and small rooms. This day is produced for an international audience, or at the very least a nationwide one, so the work done here travels far past the walls of the venue.

Claim your seat

In person from $95, virtual from $49. Seating is limited.

Worried your employer might see you? Join by livestream and you are never on camera, or let our check-in hosts know when you arrive and we will seat you off camera.
