Great leaders have great stories to tell. And many of our P&G alumni have written the books to prove it!
We are delighted to introduce MEET THE AUTHORS — a dedicated space celebrating published authors from our very own global P&G alumni community.
This special experience will give participating alumni authors the opportunity to showcase their books, sign copies, share insights and engage personally with fellow conference delegates at designated times during the conference.
For delegates, it is another exciting opportunity to discover new ideas, meet inspiring alumni authors and learn from the experiences, insights and leadership journeys captured in their books.
