To begin, join a pre-event online workshop to learn how to develop your new innovation or craft your success story, as well as learn how to navigate and engage with the online competition tool, Startup Wind. These sessions will provide you with tips, suggestions, and instructions for entering the competition and to prepare yourself and your team for the Strategic ERG Leadership Summit. Learn More

Pre-Event Workshops – Getting Ready for the Summit

Virtual Learn & Compete Sessions – Register now:

This competition is all about learning, celebration and sharing. It is important because although ERGs have been in existence since the 1960s, there is very little recorded information on how they work and why they help their stakeholders. Our goal is breaking this trend and teaching through robust ideation and storytelling.
