Thank you to everyone who attended Verdane Leadership Day 2024! 75 CEOs and Chairpersons came together under the theme of "Resilient Leadership" for 13 sessions, including keynotes from Alexander Osterwalder, the inventor of the “Business Model Canvas” and one of the world's most influential strategy and innovation experts, and Laura Penn, Ph.D., master teacher in the speaking arts and an international authority on business communication. 

Congratulations to our 2024 Verdane Award winners Danelec, Hive Streaming, Voyado and Wunderflats - we're so proud of your respective teams' accomplishments! An amazing update to come from the day was the fact that Wunderflats has helped find housing for 27 000 Ukrainian refugees, with 70% of that having been provided for free. Truly impressive!

Lastly, thank you to our organising committee and events team Ellen Marie Nyhus Niklas Savander Nina Myhre Bjarne Kveim Lie Maria Neuman and Jonathan Bui for an outstanding job putting the day together. We're already looking forward to next year!
