About Guild
Founded in 2015, Guild began with the idea that everyone benefits when talent is evenly distributed with opportunity, balancing the needs of companies and employees to create clear growth pathways for skilled workers and available roles.
Guild acts as a bridge between education and employment through the Guild Career Opportunity Platform™. The platform combines a curated marketplace of learning programs, dedicated career coaches, and tools to explore career pathways—the infrastructure to help employees achieve their goals and grow within their company.
About the Opportunity Summit
Focusing in on the age of AI, the 2024 Guild Opportunity Summit brought together a variety of companies, learning institutions, and skilling academies to discuss key themes around skills development, talent transformation, digitalization, and employee growth by:
- Developing tangible strategies for getting started on workforce transformation in the age of AI
- Building connections with leaders, innovators, and thought leaders focused on the challenge of unlocking human potential
- Exploring how upskilling and education benefits can create an agile, resilient workforce and enable your business to stay competitive
The main program featured executive speakers from Walmart, Target, PepsiCo., PNC and more, joined by keynote speakers such as Apolo Anton Ohno, Hannah Roberts, and Summer Sanders to highlight Guild’s partnership with Team USA.
Then, following an insightful day of connection and conversation recapped in real time by a live graphic artist, attendees hopped aboard iconic Old Town Trolleys over to Miranda Lambert’s Casa Rosa for a night of live music. Refreshed and ready for Day 2, the group was invited to network with a unique pin matching activation and attended industry dedicated breakout programming before hitting the road with a final Nashville classic, Goo Goo Clusters!
The Guild team looks forward to hosting the next Opportunity Summit in San Diego, October 20-22, 2025! Want to get on the list? Register your interest on their website!
