CEO Summit 2006

CEO Summit 2006 emphasized leadership of the high-growth enterprise. As with previous Highland Summits, our goal was to combine an outstanding group of attendees with a compelling agenda focused on the underlying theme of building successful and sustainable companies. The conference involved more than 70 participants along with the entire Highland team, providing an unsurpassed opportunity for CEOs, company founders and industry leaders to meet, exchange new ideas and insights, share best practices, discuss challenges and debate strategies and tactics. Guest speakers included Joe Lassiter, a professor of Harvard Business School, who delved into the complex issues inherent in creating new companies that bring innovative ideas to market, and Austin Ligon, the President and CEO of CarMax, who moderated the panel Lessons Learned on Building and Running Great Organizations.

The Summit took place March 8 through March 11 at the Sundance Resort in Sundance, Utah. Founded by Robert Redford in 1969, Sundance is both an arts and a recreational community with an unmititgated commitment to Redford’s vision of creating a peaceful and stimulating atmosphere with exceptional service, while preserving harmony with the environment.
