Built to Last

In 2025, WISE Summit focused on what it means to have been Built to Last. Built to Last called upon each of us to think about how to form sustainability in our personal journeys, emphasize longevity in our careers, and define success on our own terms. The foundation we build today will support us in our future ventures, and it is important that we build it with care and intention. Whether we move through different industries, start new businesses, or stay on one path, our foundation is what will help keep us steady. By focusing on both our professional lives and personal growth we will hopefully develop a long-lasting and balanced approach to life that is Built to Last.
