Dirigo sets fourth ON Leadership Conference for June 8, 2027

Dirigo will hold the fourth ON Leadership Conference on June 8, 2027, in Cranston, Rhode Island, with a focus on intentionality and the question, “Are You Ready to Become?” The company expects about 250 to 300 attendees and plans to make the event annual.

Why it matters: - ON2027 shifts the conference from skills training toward personal growth and identity, which Dirigo says is central to effective leadership. - The event adds another stop to a growing Rhode Island leadership series that has already drawn more than 600 attendees across three prior conferences. - Dirigo is positioning the conference as an annual gathering, which could turn the event into a recurring leadership forum in the region.

What happened: - Dirigo announced the fourth ON Leadership Conference for Tuesday, June 8, 2027, from 1 to 5 p.m. at Rhodes on the Pawtuxet in Cranston, Rhode Island. - The conference theme is “Intentionality,” and the central question is: “Are You Ready to Become?” - Registration and networking begin at noon. - Dirigo said ticket sales open Dec. 8, 2026. - Early bird tickets are priced at $199 through April 15, 2027. - Regular admission is $249.

The details: - The conference builds on three previous events: Transformation in 2019, Leadership Alchemy in 2024 and Empowerment in 2026. - Those events have brought together more than 600 attendees. - Planned program elements include short leadership talks, storytelling, creative performances, interactive activities and time for connection and reflection. - The event is designed to prompt participants to pause, reflect on their direction and consider what they want to do differently. - Dirigo says the conference explores the idea that people do not leave their personal lives at the office door. - The company says the human side of leadership shapes how people lead, work with others and make decisions. - Event details list the venue address as 60 Rhodes Place, Cranston, RI 02905. - Additional conference information is available at ON2027.

Between the lines: - The theme suggests Dirigo is leaning into a broader leadership trend: self-awareness and purpose as business skills, not just personal values. - Founder and CEO Tim Hebert framed the event as a pause from constant forward motion, arguing that leadership is inseparable from the person behind it. - ON2027 also extends the long arc of Hebert’s leadership programming, which began with the Always On Symposium while he led Atrion. - Hebert previously grew Atrion from a spare-bedroom startup into a $170 million business with about 300 employees. - The “ON” brand comes from the idea that leadership is a 24/7 responsibility. - Dirigo says the original symposium focused on the overlap of leadership, business and technology.

What's next: - Dirigo plans to make the conference annual. - Organizers expect about 250 to 300 attendees for ON2027. - Speakers and program announcements will come as the event gets closer. - Registration opens Dec. 8, 2026.
