To provide networking and knowledge-sharing for a wide audience, Affiliates host annual events, which may take the form of technical days, summits, conferences, or forums. These events are frequently composed of a combination of keynote speeches by leading thinkers in the Lean Community, executives from a variety of industries undergoing lean transformations, breakout sessions with lean experts, and pre - or post-summit workshops. Events differ in length, content, focus, audience size and background.
