Business is booming in Western New York, and the WNY Business Leadership Forum (BLF) is here to help you navigate this brave new world. Founded in 2007, BLF brings together the leaders of local companies to discuss critical challenges and topics of relevance. Attendees to the complimentary forums gain invaluable insight from experienced thought leaders, opportunities to ask questions and receive feedback, and are connected to like-minded individuals for networking and relationship building.

Local business executives typically present case studies from their own companies while accounting, legal, insurance, technology, consulting and international trade professionals are on hand to answer questions regarding specific issues. Past topics over our decade of forums have included the entrepreneurial ecosystem, adapting to new technological advancements, how to build the perfect team and more.

The Forum is presented and sponsored through the collaborative efforts of Lumsden & McCormick LLP, Lippes Mathias LLP, Agency 15, Ciminelli Real Estate Corporation, and TalentRise.

The BLF sponsors work with cooperation from Buffalo Niagara Manufacturing Alliance, Launch NY, Invest Buffalo Niagara, Western New York Sustainable Business Roundtable, and Amherst Chamber of Commerce.
