What is a Learning Expedition?
Our Learning Expeditions in San Francisco & Silicon Valley, Los Angeles, and Napa & Sonoma Valleys are immersive experiences designed to witness the forces that shape tomorrow, so company executives or university students can project themselves into the future.
Because one size does not fit all, we tailor fully-customized programs and connect you to the right business communities. We coordinate site visits and arrange meetings with industry leaders, as well as networking cocktails and luncheons .
By opening minds and shifting perspectives, our learning expeditions inspire management teams and C-level executives in their transformation journey and innovation strategy, and expose students to a rare opportunity to engage with leading innovators and experts.
How it works
Step 1: Initial Consultation
The journey begins with our first call, where we aim to understand your organization's or institution's goals and aspirations. This initial consultation lays the foundation for a customized learning expedition tailored to meet your specific needs and objectives.
Step 2: Planning the Expedition
Once we've aligned our visions, we move on to meticulous planning. This involves charting out the entire visiting expedition to San Francisco, Silicon Valley and/or Los Angeles, considering key factors such as dates, locations, and logistical arrangements. Our team works closely with you to ensure a seamless experience, from accommodation to transportation.
