Elevate Your Brand with Live2Lead Lynchburg 2025 

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

Live2Lead is coming back to Lynchburg in 2025—delivering world-class leadership content in a dynamic, one-day format designed for real impact. Hosted by Andrea Johnson (The Intentional Optimist) and Mike Cook (Strategic Doers Group), 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 globally renowned thought leaders, connect 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 resilience, purpose, and bold transformation. When you sponsor Live2Lead, you’re not just promoting your brand—you’re aligning with a vision for what leadership should look like in our region: healthy, values-driven, and forward-focused.

Whether you sponsor one event or both, your brand becomes part of that story—championing growth, well-being, and courageous 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.

Visibility & Access

Your brand will be featured prominently in all public-facing marketing and event materials from June 1 through February 28, including:

  • Website and email campaigns

  • Printed and digital materials for the Lynchburg event

  • Live event recognition and signage

  • Social media mentions from The Intentional Optimist brand

Note: Sponsorship applies to public Live2Lead events only. Private simulcasts hosted by companies or organizations are self-funded and not included in public sponsor visibility.

New this year: Sponsors can select and pay for their packages directly through our portal—no back-and-forth emails required.
