For existing SLN members, the Summit is an opportunity to pick up on some of the discussions you started in earlier SLN events, to share experiences on current challenges and to define how you want the SLN to work and the topics of interest going forward.

For newcomers, it is an opportunity to understand how the SLN works, to gain insight into current challenges facing service leaders around Europe and beyond, to listen to and question experts and to network with colleagues.

Additionally, the goal of the Summit is for members to set the agenda for the Service Leaders network for the coming 12 months for Collaboration Projects and SLN Experience Exchanges.

Attendees have the opportunity to help co-design the services and operating process of the network, so that they ensure that it works best for them and their requirements.

The atmosphere is open, friendly and confidential and vigorous debate is encouraged.

The SLN Summit is held once per year. If you would like to receive more information or would like to register for the event please fill in the form below.
