WHAT MAKES SYNERGY DIFFERENT

There are ERG gatherings, and then there's SynERGy.

This isn't a conference where you collect inspiration, then return to the same unresolved questions.

SynERGy is a working session for oversight managers ready to stop improvising and start setting the standard. You won't just swap stories — you'll help write the governance playbook that shapes how ERG programs operate worldwide.

And because regional context matters, we're holding two sessions this year — one in Europe, one in the US. Same framework, same mission, different rooms full of peers who understand exactly what you're navigating.

You're the only one at your organization who does this
SynERGy is the room where that changes. Other OMs who actually get it — the political tightrope, the volunteer burnout, the budget battles.
You leave with more than notes
Day 2 produces actual governance standards your program can adopt. You're not just inspired — you're equipped.
You build the relationships that last all year
The peer OMs you meet at SynERGy become your informal advisory board. They're in your network with you long after the event ends.
First look at the 2026 ERG Impact Study
Attendees see the new data before anyone else — what's being measured, what's landing, and where the field is heading.
ERG programs are under pressure like never before.
 
The organizations leading this next era have clear leadership pathways, defined governance standards, transparent reporting, and metrics tied to business impact. SynERGy is where those standards get built — by the people who have to live by them.
