Why This Summit, and Why Now?

In an era of uncertainty, the difference between thriving and merely surviving is leadership.

At TRG’s Executive Summit, you’ll gain the tools and insights to make bold, strategic decisions that will strengthen your organization for years to come. Seats are limited, and this is your chance to engage in critical conversations that will reshape your approach to leadership, programming, and revenue generation.

For cultural executives, external challenges are driving internal pressures—making it harder to align programming with audience demand, deepen patron relationships, and close revenue gaps. These obstacles aren’t just operational; they impact the very mission you strive to uphold.

What’s stopping you from overcoming these challenges? And what strategies will help you thrive in this environment?

Who should attend?

This Summit is built for cultural executives who are ready to lead boldly, embrace data-driven strategies, and drive meaningful change in their organizations.

Get ready to lead to the summit.
