The stage is set for the biggest single-day motivational speaking event the Okanagan has ever seen.

 “If you want to be a leader in your community, who better to ask than someone who has been to the mountain of success?” Jim Csek of Csek Creative said.  

Csek Creative is the organizer of ‘Level Up’, an executive leadership conference that promises to offer attendees an opportunity to network with top business professionals, learn from world class leaders and unlock their business potential.

“It will give you information that you can take back and use in your business tomorrow,” Csek said.

 “We’ve put together eight amazing people to speak here, two of them former prime ministers; Mr. Jean Chretien and Mr. Stephen Harper.”

“I’ve been in this town for fifteen years. I’ve really built my entire career here and conferences like this were something I had to go somewhere else for,” Kelowna tech entrepreneur Lane Merrifield said.

Merrifield, who is one of the Dragon’s Den venture capitalists,  is just one of the many speakers that will take to the stage at ‘Level Up’.

 “It’s as much about what you are learning when you are in conference as the conversations you’re are having in and around it.”

However getting a leg up on leadership at ‘Level Up’ comes at bit of a cost. Tickets for Friday’s event range from $300 all the way up to $1,600, depending upon the access you are looking for to the speakers.

But according to Csek, who’s organizing the event, the end results are worth it.

“Leadership is so important and if you have good leaders you have good companies and good companies make a good community,” Csek said.

‘ Level Up’ takes place on Friday at Kelowna at Trinity Baptist Church.
