Unmatched Networking
One of the most valuable aspects of attending ELEVATE is the ability to network and connect with the best in the industry. This year features even more opportunities to do so with both formal roundtable discussions and social events like the Welcome Reception, happy hour on the ELEVATE Expo show floor and the ELEVATE Bash.
The Let’s Talk Shop roundtable discussion gives you the chance to chat others based on their industry specialty and exchange practical insights while the new role-based discussions allow you to learn from your peers on topics directly relevant to your responsibilities. Lunch is provided and there is no additional fee — just choose your role during registration!
If you want to connect over a specific topic, the ticketed Breakfast with Champions event is also available. This event is for you if you’re looking to gain new insights, share ideas and connect with others.
Exposure to Innovation
If you are looking for innovations to take back to the office, you don’t want to miss the ELEVATE Expo, which is one of the fastest-growing trade shows in the nation. The 33,000 square feet of exhibit space features forward-thinking manufacturers and experts.
The show floor is designed to encourage meaningful conversations with vendors who may have just the solution you’re looking for. You can gain additional inspiration from attending the Campfire Conversations that are also at the Expo.
High-Impact Speakers
For organizations that need a new spark or fresh perspective, thought leaders Kevin Brown and Ben Nemtin will provide inspiring talking during their Main Stage sessions at the beginning and end of ELEVATE. Brown is a branding and culture expert while Nemtin is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of What Do You Want to Do Before You Die? and The Bucket List Journal.
Their real-world insights can be shared with your team to boost your company culture as well as unlock their true potential.
Company-Wide Team Value
Being able to take a team with you provides the ability to divide and conquer sessions, access a variety of perspectives and boosts your overall company morale. If you bring 10 team members with you or more, you receive the discounted rate of $860 per registrant.
“It’s really hard to oversell just the camaraderie that you build,” says Mark Ables, president and CEO of Ables Landscapes, based in Charleston, South Carolina. “Working together, we know each other in the office setting, and you have your office personality and that’s great. But when you get out for a trip like this, you just grow so much together.”
