At GSF, we do things differently. We believe building the health of
a young company requires the same dedication as does the
health of the body, mind and soul.
10K Run: The event will begin with all 500 participants joiningin a 10k run to get the energy flowing and overcome a shared
challenge. Conference Sessions: Defined by the open-ended prompt ofWhere Do We Go Now?, these provocative discussions will
liberate us from our preconceptions about how to collaborate
and create shared opportunities.
Entertainment-in-the-Mix: Because levity must balance rigor inany successful venture, each session will contain some novelentertainment to be created by our companies and the broader
GSF family.
