The Satell Institute Semiquincentennial Event—Our 2026 Private CEO Conference

May 12, 2026, from 8:00–11:30am at the National Constitution Center – Philadelphia, PA

More than 500 CEOs and top leaders will gather at the iconic National Constitution Center on Independence Mall for the first-ever Satell Institute National CEO Conference. This is an invitation-only event for Satell Institute members and their esteemed guests.

 We’re grateful for the leadership of Conference Chairs Tim McDermott, Philadelphia Union, and A.J. Jordan, Vanguard, and the outstanding Conference Committee shaping what will be an extraordinary morning. We’re thrilled to announce that our keynote speaker will be Paige Alexander, CEO of the world-renowned Carter Center, which was founded by the late Nobel Prize-winning President Jimmy Carter. Alexander will be interviewed by our Conference Chairs.

In addition to that inspiring keynote presentation, the conference will include SI’s hallmark peer idea-sharing roundtables, this time with an innovation suggested by our outstanding conference committee: attendees will have the opportunity to self-select their own tables. This is a once in 250-year moment, also marking the Institute’s 10th anniversary.  Community IS Every Leader’s Business!   We look forward to seeing Members and guests from all Chapters enjoying the “best place to visit in 2026”— Philadelphia!
