In our fast-moving, ever-evolving industry, it’s easy to get caught up in the daily grind—handling customer needs, managing operations, and making dozens of decisions each day. But the most successful businesses carve out space to pause, learn, and connect. That’s what our upcoming Summer Meeting is all about.
This isn’t just another conference—it’s our opportunity to gather as an association, to celebrate our wins, share insights, and lean into the strength of our community. The energy, the conversations, the lessons—each element is designed to fuel your momentum long after the event ends.
Here’s why this is the one event you can’t afford to miss:
We’ve all faced challenges, adapted, and grown—and it’s time to recognize that. This event honors our shared victories and the individuals and businesses who are leading with excellence. Whether you're just starting out or have decades under your belt, you’ll leave feeling inspired, connected, and proud to be part of this community.
Each session on this year’s agenda delivers actionable insight and fresh perspective:
