The theme of the 2024 LIC Annual Conference is Imagine! We chose this theme because that’s what it takes to thrive, compete and grow today and into the future. We have created an agenda and environment to catalyze forward-thinking imagination and discussion about new technologies, consumer perceptions, expectation and needs; plus new ways to manage in a world that seems to accelerate faster every year. We’ll hear from companies and individuals who have a unique perspective on growth and innovation, and we’ll engage in interactive sessions designed to send everyone home with practical ideas that can be implemented to help your company succeed.

After attending the LIC Annual Conference, you should be refreshed, excited, and equipped with new tools to help make 2024 your best year ever. Imagine that!
