Croatia, Slovenia & Leadership Conference
Experience the natural beauty of the Balkan region with this breathtaking, off-the-beaten-path adventure.
Begin with sightseeing in Zagreb before admiring lakes, caves, and waterfalls as you walk through Plitvice Lakes National Park. Then travel across Slovenia to see iconic Bled Castle and the Škocjan Caves to study water’s impact on landscapes—and appreciate its critical role in relaxation and industry for local communities. Your final stop is Berlin, where you’ll investigate how water plays a role in cities vs. the impact it makes in the wilderness or countryside. Lastly, you’ll further understand The Impact of Water on Society at our global leadership conference, where you’ll learn how to harness this important natural resource to make a bigger difference around the world.
