Athletic excellence and the Mall of America, this is an exceptional pairing.

We love these types of pairings, leadership, tenacity and brilliance, all packed into an afternoon at the brewery. We have two leaders in our community who are central to the success of the US 2026 Special Olympics being here in Minnesota. And, of course, our leadership in retail thinking and innovation.

We have Jill Renslow of the Mall of America and Christy Sovereign, President and CEO, US 2026 Special Olympics.

KEY AREAS OF LEARNING:

1. How this all came about, being host to the Special Olympics and all the activities surrounding this event in Minnesota.
2. What we can do to support the athletes, their families and promote our community during this time of celebration and athletic performance.
3. Leadership in our community, the conversations at Mn Business Partnership, The Mall of America, Accenture and the US Special Olympics team regarding how we are leading as a state.
