Senior Executive Symposium

08/20/2020: Due to COVID-19, the SES 2020 school year will not be held and will resume in May 2021. IAVM staff and the Board of Governors made every effort to keep this event scheduled as planned; however Cornell University is not allowing guests on campus this fall. Additionally, the Board of Governors feel that this event is most beneficial as a face to face, LIVE event. All currently enrolled students can request a full refund in writing by Friday, September 28th. After this deadline, all remaining students will have their registration fees rolled over and applied to May 2021 event.

IAVM's Senior Executive Symposium (SES) is a 4-day leadership immersion for senior-level venue managers and other individuals on a leadership track inside their organization. SES curriculum rotates each year through three areas of focus: Visionary Management, Strategic Planning and Leadership Culture.

SES 2020 will focus on Leadership Culture for the Future.

Co-developed by IAVM and Cornell University, the course inspires executives to lead their staff with creativity, collaboration and a well-rounded management philosophy.

Set in the collegiate think-tank of the stunning Cornell University campus in Ithaca, NY, SES is four inspired days of focused training and intensive discussion designed to broaden and enrich executive perspectives on business operations and culture.

Space for this sought after program fills early and quickly, as the capacity of SES is intentionally maintained to ensure an optimal experience. For more information about SES, contact the Meeting Department at meetings@iavm.org.
