"The 2013 Geno Auriemma UConn Leadership Conference was incredibly beneficial for CEOs and senior executives who are looking for ideas that will provide them with an intellectual advantage in leading their company during the most challenging business climate in history. Geno has assembled some of the best strategic thinkers in business, in a very intimate setting who discuss their personal experiences regarding business, their life pursuits, and challenges and obstacles they have encountered and overcome along the way. Additionally the conference format is an efficient use of a senior executive's time, when we are all challenged with balancing our busy schedules. This is the one conference you should not miss!"
