Millsummit returns August 6

If two days at The Queen was too much to ask your boss for as a workforce development day, how about one day at Hercules Plaza? Millsummit is streamlining its annual leadership and entrepreneurship conference to make it easier for professionals to attend, and moving it to the iconic Hercules atrium and Chancery Market.
