Business is the driving force behind creating opportunity and charting the course of community change, with chief executive officers and presidents in the driver’s seat of leadership and strategy. The Indy Chamber Master Class CEO Series will bring together many of our region’s top business executives to open a dialogue between established leaders and CEOs or presidents that have are either new to or have been promoted within their organization.

Master Class will give participants an inside look at efforts to strengthen our region's future through talent attraction, access to education, economic investment and innovation. Presenters will outline their role and impact on the community, and discuss ways the business community can support major initiatives.

In addition, the collaborative environment of Master Class will open the door for you to build and strengthen your relationships with our region’s top influencers.
