Step Up: HG United 2024

Step Up at HG United

HG Insights came together this week for the annual HG United event on the Santa Barbara shoreline. Overlooking the Pacific, teams from around the world — Ukraine, Brazil, India, and Britain, to name a few — met, strategized, and learned about what’s in store in 2024 for HG.

Across three days the entire company met at Santa Barbara for exciting news, activities, and inspiration. This year’s theme was Step Up and many great guests and presentations did just that! In addition to the HG executive team unveiling the exciting things in store for HG in 2023 — through priority objectives and key results, transformation strategies, and data deep dives.

Of course, the company kickoff was a wonderful time of making connections with remote colleagues, delicious meals, and exciting company events at various venues around Santa Barbara!
