A collaboration between NSCA and Ignite, the second annual XBO Experience will take place on Oct. 28-29 in Austin, Texas. Here, rising industry stars can build the skills and knowledge needed for leadership positions for leadership positions, regardless of their current job title.

This year, attendees will learn actionable strategies and leadership skills as they listen to and participate in discussions about topics surrounding:

  • Leading with confidence in uncertain times
  • Anticipating, mitigating, and adapting to risk
  • Leveraging technology to empower teams
  • Problem-solving to shape success
  • Discovering new ways to improve
  • Making the most of project management tools
  • Building stronger and more powerful connections
  • Having an ownership mindset
  • Secrets to influencing and impacting organizational outcomes

Attendees also get to take part in interactive learning activities as they experience industry challenges with real-world relevancy. Employees at commercial integration firms who show leadership potential are the perfect fit for XBO Experience. TheV event is also designed for young professionals who have recently taken on leadership roles but want to gain training they may not have received when stepping into those positions.

First-time XBO Experience attendees are also encouraged to apply for the Jeff M. Kindig Future Leaders Scholarship. It allows qualified individuals to attend at no cost, continuing his legacy of eliminating barriers that prevent young professionals from rising to leadership roles.
