<strong>KIN</strong> GLOBAL GUIDE<br />

Though this is our first <strong>KIN</strong> <strong>Global</strong> Summit, we’ve been hosting <strong>KIN</strong><br />

events at Kellogg <strong>and</strong> our partner companies’ locations for nearly<br />

six years. We are blessed with many <strong>KIN</strong> <strong>Global</strong> delegates who have<br />

attended past <strong>KIN</strong> events. Whether you are a seasoned <strong>KIN</strong>ovator,<br />

or br<strong>and</strong> new, please review our <strong>KIN</strong> <strong>Global</strong> modus oper<strong>and</strong>i:<br />

Introduce Yourself<br />

If there is someone you don’t know, introduce yourself. To take a cue from<br />

Renaissance Weekend founders Phil <strong>and</strong> Linda Lader—everyone at <strong>KIN</strong><br />

<strong>Global</strong> has a story to tell. Take advantage of that fact to make new friends,<br />

build your network, <strong>and</strong> create partnerships for the Summit <strong>and</strong> beyond.<br />

It all starts with an introduction.<br />

Be Present<br />

You are entering a whirlwind of inspiring, challenging, dem<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong><br />

courageous ideas. Clear your schedules as best you can. We are all busy<br />

<strong>and</strong> will ALWAYS have urgent items dem<strong>and</strong>ing our attention, but we too<br />

infrequently take opportunities to venture outside our typical boundaries.<br />

That’s the point of <strong>KIN</strong> <strong>Global</strong>. If you bring your boundaries with you, you’ll<br />

fail to recognize the horizons. Challenge yourself to leave your Blackberries,<br />

iPhones <strong>and</strong> cell phones at the door.<br />
