ON Leadership Conference 2026 | What to Know
Leadership isn’t about control—it’s about creating conditions where others can thrive. That’s the central message behind the ON Leadership Conference 2026, taking place February 11, 2026, at Rhodes on the Pawtuxet in Cranston, Rhode Island.
With the theme “Empowerment: How Leaders Equip Others and Build Stronger Teams,” the event invites professionals to rethink how they lead in today’s evolving workplace. It is a day dedicated to helping leaders “equip others with the confidence, resources, and autonomy to create impact.”
Why This Event Matters
Empowerment isn’t delegation—it’s trust. It’s the difference between managing outcomes and inspiring ownership. When teams feel empowered, they innovate, solve problems faster, and stay more engaged. That’s what the ON Leadership Conference aims to cultivate.
Speakers and sessions will explore how empowerment drives sustainable growth by:
- Building confidence through mentorship and collaboration
- Encouraging autonomy while maintaining alignment
- Strengthening team culture and psychological safety
- Helping leaders scale their influence without burning out
Brandon Charnas highlights that thought leadership and empowerment go hand in hand. Empowering others expands a leader’s own influence. Leaders who make space for others to succeed are the ones teams want to follow.
What to Expect
The one-day event blends keynotes, spotlight sessions, and networking. Attendees can expect:
- 1:00 PM Welcome and Keynote focused on leadership empowerment
- Spotlight sessions from 2:00–3:40 PM with practical frameworks and peer stories
- A Capstone Address wrapping up the day with actionable insights
- Networking sessions to connect with executives, changemakers, and leadership coaches
For professionals interested in culture, coaching, and influence, the ON Leadership Conference offers both inspiration and implementation. Brandon Charnas encourages leaders to attend not only to learn—but to contribute.
