learning from experts - and each other
We tap into subject matter experts to go deep into a topic of interest for the Kermit community. These experts present a keynote and provide exercises and conversation fodder for us to work through together. Their expertise combined with our experiences result in new approaches to old problems, new energy to face our ever-evolving industry and tactics to put into action immediately.
Keynotes are open to employees of Kermit Collective member organizations.
Stay tuned for details about our 2026 Keynote!
