At the Next Generation CMO Academy, master facilitators, renowned C-suite executives, and industry and subject matter experts deliver a thought provoking curriculum to build core C-suite leadership skills and strengths.

Leadership
From plenary sessions with C-suite executives to robust Extraordinary Leader master classes, participants hear from some of the most thoughtful voices in the field on how to lead with confidence.

Influence
As the holder of customer insights, marketing executives are uniquely positioned to be a strategic voice in the organization. In peer-to-peer team room sessions, participants share cross-industry strategies for continuing to grow marketing’s influence in the boardroom, while building a durable network of colleagues that extends beyond the Academy experience.

Collaboration
Marketing executives have a vast opportunity to collaborate more. When they understand—and believe—they have unmatched customer expertise, they can use that as a natural “in” to collaborate with their C-suite peers. During the Academy, participants explore the latest research on the evolution of the role and how they can position themselves as strategic partners with their peers.
