EIC Board and Council
75th Anniversary Meeting

September 2024

In celebration of EIC’s 75th Anniversary, our September Council Meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico represents a critical opportunity for our sector to identify areas for greater collaboration and impact. With Discover Puerto Rico as our gracious host, the meeting will be a remarkable, enriching experience for us all.

This C-Suite Senior Leadership “Think Tank” experience will bring together our diverse global membership.

  • Futures Landscape Project: The meeting will include the final section of work on our year-long Futures Landscape Project. The workshop will once again be facilitated by our partners from GainingEdge and will feed critical insights into the final industry-wide report set to be released by the end of the year.
  • We are thrilled to welcome global strategist Kaihan Krippendorff as a keynote and workshop facilitator for our Unlocking Strategic Creativity Workshop. Kaihan is the founder of Outthinker Networks, a global think-tank of chief strategy officers and executives shaping the future of their organization and industries.
  • A United Voice for Global Advocacy: This leadership meeting is designed to leverage the power of the collective when we unite for impact. Thank you for making time to participate in the experience.

Our Remarkable Host Hotel and Meeting Venue

The world-famous, historic Condado Vanderbilt Hotel will serve as our host venue for the Council Meeting. Opened in 1919, the luxurious oceanfront hotel was built by the Vanderbilt family and marked the beginning of high-end tourism in Puerto Rico.

Imagine how many extraordinary business events have been held at the Condado over the years, making it the perfect backdrop for the important discussions we will have during our Council Meeting.
