Lenovo Global Web Summit 2023

October 9 - 11
Washington Duke Inn, Durham NC

For three days, Lenovo's headquarters will turn into a learning hub for all things Web, social, digital, and beyond.

Embracing Growth Mindset:
Unlocking Transformation and Success in the Digital Age

eCommerce and digital landscapes are constantly evolving. We know success depends on more than just the latest trends and strategies. Smarter means developing a growth mindset – a mindset that nurtures adaptability, resilience and continuous improvement. It is the belief that we can always learn, grow and be open to new ideas. We take risk in pursuit of goals, learn from our mistakes and failures, stay motivated, humble and focused on the big picture.

At our upcoming Global Web Summit, we will explore the power of a growth mindset and its critical role in achieving sustainable success in the world of online commerce.
