The Focus
ELEVATE is for owners looking to share, learn and level-up. Often the most sage advice and helpful ideas come from other owners. The goal of ELEVATE is to provide space where owners can explore new ideas and collaborate. Over the 2 days you will hear the experience and expertise from owners who face the same hurdles as you. You will also have focused time to workshop a variety ideas with other owners.
During the workshop time we will facilitate discussions around operations and explore ways to create efficiencies, expand your agency and advance your vision.
​
By the end of the conference we hope you go away with a better understanding of areas of growth, a plan for creating the agency you want and some new connections in this industry.
