Elevate Your Brand with LIVE2LEAD Charlottesville 2025 

Thrive in ‘25 — and help others do the same.

Live2Lead Charlottesville is back for its third year—bringing globally renowned leadership content to our region in a powerful, one-day format. Hosted by Andrea Johnson of The Intentional Optimist, this energizing experience draws purpose-driven professionals from across industries—education, healthcare, finance, entrepreneurship, and more—for a day of clarity, growth, and transformation.

This isn’t just a leadership conference—it’s a catalyst.
Attendees don’t just take notes—they take action. They’ll hear from world-class thought leaders, engage with a vibrant local network, and walk away ready to lead with renewed energy and purpose.

The Thrive Advantage

This year’s theme, Thrive in ’25, is about more than momentum—it’s about vitality, purpose, and impact. Aligning your brand with this message means showing up as a leader who believes in bold progress, resilient people, and meaningful transformation.

When you sponsor Live2Lead Charlottesville, your brand becomes part of that transformation—championing growth, resilience, and thriving leadership across Central Virginia.

Why Sponsor This Year

Sponsorship is your opportunity to position your brand at the intersection of leadership, influence, and regional impact. You’ll be seen as a key player in developing strong teams, empowering people, and fueling meaningful progress in our business and civic communities.
