GPLEX 360...
...was born out of the desire to create a home for ongoing cohort connection and experiences. A once-a-year meeting of the minds only taps into a small amount of the potential for this program, so 360 seeks to extend the mission and best parts of the conference for our community. Now we can connect almost every month to learn, question, and be curious as a group of powerful change-makers.

KIERSTEN MAILLER
GPLEX DIRECTOR
"At its heart, GPLEX is an effort to move the needle. By traveling and learning together, this group of decision makers gets an infusion of exposure to other cities’ best ideas, and a concentrated dose of high-level networking. GPLEXers have connected on many occasions to generate real change that benefits our region. There’s nothing more powerful than a close network of movers and shakers who can solve problems on the fly with real cross-sector collaboration."
