The much-anticipated Italian American Future Leaders Conference — developed by COPOMIAO VP John Viola — is a 3-night, 4-day cultural excursion to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., that will feature small group collaboration, keynote seminars, networking banquets and a VIP NHL game experience at FLA Live Arena.

The best part? Virtually all expenses, including high-rise hotel stays, high-end meals and premium entertainment, will be covered by a $100,000 incentive grant gifted to COPOMIAO by President Basil Russo’s Ohio ISDA Community Foundation. COPOMIAO member organizations will only need to cover attendees’ (ages 21 to 30) flight expenses and Uber/taxi rides to and from the airport.
