Full conference registration includes access to all programming and the following meals: Monday (dessert reception), Tuesday (breakfast, lunch, dinner), and Wednesday (breakfast). All meals provided during the conference are Kosher-certified by the Chicago Rabbinical Council (CRC).

Abuse of power, whether related to position, wealth, race, or gender, is not acceptable at Leaders Assembly. We believe in promoting an environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued.
This Code of Conduct has been established to promote safety and respect throughout Leaders Assembly.
