A New Format. A New Energy. The Same IMPACT.

This year, the IMPACT Leadership Conference is charging forward with a bold new format designed to spark more connection, energy, and engagement.

Instead of multiple breakout rooms, attendees will come together in one dynamic space — sharing ideas, inspiration, and conversation as a united audience. The day kicks off with our keynote speaker, setting the tone for growth and innovation, followed by a series of fast-paced, 30-minute breakout sessions featuring local leaders and industry experts. Each session is designed to deliver quick, actionable insights — keeping the energy high and the ideas flowing. You’ll leave the event inspired, informed, and ready to lead with purpose

More collaboration. More interaction. More IMPACT.
