THE HIGHWAY ONE SERIES PRESENT
A.I. + ME
An Executive Sanctuary in the Era of AI
February 24-27
highly curated experience for a small group of leaders
As artificial intelligence reshapes every system of work, the greatest competitive advantage is no longer technological — it is human. The Human Advantage is an immersive executive retreat designed to help leades rethink how trust, influence, and relationship strategy function in a world increasingly mediated by machines.
Hosted along the Santa Cruz coastline, the experience blends high-level dialogue, reflective practices in nature, and intimate dining by a Michelin-starred chef to create space for insight that does not happen in boardrooms. You’ll leave with language, frameworks, and embodied clarity for leading people not just systems — in the age of AI.
