This is the last chance to get tickets! The #MILLSUMMIT is one of the largest and fastest growing events of its kind in the country, and is expected to draw more than 1,000 attendees from around the globe to hear from the 100+ speakers. Amidst ongoing health concerns, the 2021 Summit will be held again as a 3-day virtual event hosted by Spur Impact and the #MILLSUMMIT Planning Committee.
“Building off of last year’s virtual format, we know we can once again provide our attendees with a meaningful online experience through informative resources and discussions to grow as a young professional,” commented Executive Co-Chair Denée Crumrine.
The #MILLSUMMIT is a one-of-a-kind, interdisciplinary conference for young professionals, rising stars, innovators, and industry leaders to connect and grow. While the event was originally created for young professionals, it is open to all professionals and historically draws an audience ages 18-60.
Attendees who virtually attend a portion or all three days of the Summit can hear from more than 80 unique speakers as they lead discussions in the areas of leadership, finance, advocacy, nonprofits, health and wellness, the arts, and entrepreneurship.
“The Planning Committee is bringing you three full days of programming, panels, and speakers resulting in over 30+ hours of content. Our amazing keynotes include Delaware born and country music star, Jimmie Allen; thought provoking leader, speaker, and writer, Vu Le; serial entrepreneur, Matt Higgins; as well as life coach, Jaclyn Digregorio,” said Executive Co-Chair Jennifer Saienni.
