Attendance & Presence

W.E. ARE NEXT is intentionally designed as a cohort journey. The depth of this experience depends on each participant being fully present and engaged throughout the experience.

Participants are expected to attend all sessions in person and be fully present for the duration of each session. Cohort days should be treated as dedicated time away from normal meetings, work responsibilities, email, and other competing commitments.

Because of the highly interactive and cohort-based nature of W.E. ARE NEXT, participants are expected to attend all sessions in full. Partial attendance, arriving late, leaving early, or participating virtually are not part of the experience.

We understand that unforeseen life events and emergencies can occur. If a significant circumstance arises during the experience that could impact your participation, please contact Christina as soon as possible so we can discuss next steps together.
