2024 Annual Community Meet
Our most anticipated annual event is back once again! Join us and embark on an extraordinary journey at the Leading Change Network’s Annual Community Meet 2024 (ACM24).

Designed with our global community in mind, the event is hosted in 2 sessions across 2 timezones (Asia Morning and The Americas Morning) to ensure everyone, regardless of where they are in the world, can be a part of our unfolding story.
