About the 2024 Midwest Leadership Summit

Welcome to the dynamic world of leadership empowerment! At Central Exchange, we aim to unlock your inner superhero and ignite your leadership potential! For over two decades, the Midwest Leadership Summit has been your steadfast companion on the journey to personal and professional excellence.

On April 16, 2024, nearly 1,200 passionate leaders explored the theme “Lead With Your Superpower.” Every leader has an extraordinary superpower – a distinctive quality or skill that distinguishes us as influential leaders and empowers us to elevate our teams to greater heights. These superpowers are as diverse as the individuals who have them, and they serve as the secret sauce that propels us to inspire, guide, and lead our teams toward success.

Formerly known as the Women’s Leadership Lyceum and rebranded as the Midwest Leadership Summit in 2019, this transformative event has evolved. Thanks to our hybrid format, what started as a local gathering has become a national audience. Whether you joined us in person at the Overland Park Convention Center or connected virtually from across the country, you were part of something truly extraordinary.

Throughout the day at the Summit, attendees immersed themselves in a whirlwind of insights, tactics, and inspiration. Our lineup of thought leaders shared their wisdom, leaving attendees empowered to step into their roles as Super Leaders—equipped with newfound knowledge, fresh perspectives, and invaluable connections.

But the journey doesn’t end here! We invite you to stay engaged with us as we continue celebrating and cultivating leadership excellence. Follow us on LinkedIn or sign up for our bi-weekly CX Connections eNews to stay up-to-date with everything happening at Central Exchange.

Please save the date on April 15, 2025, as we reconvene for another day of growth, camaraderie, and inspiration. Whether you’re a seasoned leader or embarking on your journey, the Midwest Leadership Summit is your springboard to greatness. Tickets and sponsorships will be available starting Fall 2024.
