Episode Description

Chief of Staff Connect is expanding to seven cities in 2026, our biggest year yet. We're meeting Chiefs of Staff at one of the most critical inflection points in the role.

In this episode, Scott Amenta and Tom Guthrie break down the strategy behind Connect 2026 and why this year's theme — FROM FORCE MULTIPLIER TO BUILDER — defines where the profession is heading.

You'll hear:

  • Why we're bringing flagship Connect events back to London, San Francisco, and New York and what's different this year
  • The story behind launching Chief of Staff Connect Forums in four new markets (tune in to find out where!)
  • What it means to shift from "force multiplier" to "builder" and why that matters for your career
  • How we designed this year's events to be more practical, hands-on, and regionally relevant
  • Why tickets (Flagship and Forum) include annual CoS Network PRO+ membership and what that unlocks

The best Chiefs of Staff aren't just amplifying their executives anymore, they're building systems, frameworks, and infrastructure that transform organizations. Connect 2026 is where you learn how to make that shift.
