Thank you for coming!
I love being able to connect with my peers, people I haven’t had a chance to see in a long time from all over the country. The leaders here are the right leaders to be able to have some really deep conversations about what’s happening in our current environment and landscape, so I found it extremely beneficial to hear what others are doing and bounce ideas off each other.
Louis Lopez
President and CEO, YMCA of Greater San Antonio
I’m someone who thrives on relationship development and networking, and the amount of diverse leadership that was present at this summit was awesome. My top takeaway from this event was it’s not about competition, it’s about collaboration.
Adam Shilling
CEO, Buckeye Valley Family YMCA
Sales is all about getting to know people and building relationships, and the summit fostered an environment that allowed us to really make those connections. It’s invaluable.
Kevin Williams
EGYM, Senior Sales Executive
Being part of a likeminded group with others and other organizations has been really impactful and beneficial to me, as a leader, but also as someone in a community to be able to get new ideas.
Sabrina Smeltz
CEO, Wakeman Boys & Girls Club
My experience has been incredible and full of great, engaging conversations, being with the CEOs to see them really think at a whole next level of thinking.
Keith Vinson
VP, Operations, YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas
It’s been great connecting with the different vendors, as well as the other peers from around the country. I really appreciated the full day where we leaned into probably some atypical topics around DNI and mental health. I think those are really important topics for leaders in this sector to really lean into because it’s facing all of us.
Todd Tibbits
President and CEO, YMCA of San Diego County
One of the things I appreciated the most was the format – these roundtable discussions with some of the most innovative thinkers around the country. The discussion was really high level. Working for the JCC, I’m fortunate to be surround by a lot of great contacts and colleagues, and now that network has only expanded. I’m really grateful for the takeaway of a whole new group of colleagues.
Raychel Reilly
Chief Health & Wellness Officer, Kaplen JCC on the Palisades
I really didn’t know what to expect coming in and was pleasantly surprised Day One that not only was there dedicated time to talk to all the attendees but that we were going to be involved in all the sessions. We’ll be back next year.
Cody Norton
Daxko, VP, Sales
You gave us great exposure as a sponsor. You did some special touches that really allowed a sponsor to feel very proud to be a sponsor of this event, especially since it’s the first. That says a lot, and I know it’ll be even better in the future.
Antonio Battaglia
Bellxcel, President & COO
I had an amazing experience and I really appreciated the format. I’ve been to bigger trade shows which are Vegas-like in quality, and in terms of value, the value I received from being at this conference far exceeds anything I’ve been to before.
Hailee Bland-Walsh
Fit Truk, Co-Founder
I thought the event was very well organized and planned. The sessions were very thoughtful and provoking and I’m leaving with a number of takeaways. It made the event extra special.
