About Syndeo Institute at The Cable Center

Syndeo Institute is a nonprofit discovery, education, and collaboration hub where current and future leaders come together to exchange ideas and pave the way forward. Through applied learning courses, immersive events, thought leadership, and educational programs, we enable individuals and teams to learn from the experts and each other. We transform employees into intrapreneurs—leaders who create value within their organization, disrupt with confidence, and find opportunity in change. We celebrate industry trailblazers, recognizing their success, influence, and accomplishments and amplifying their legacy to our community and beyond. At Syndeo Institute, we inspire the next generation of leaders and intrapreneurs to shape what’s next.
