Our heartfelt thanks to our inspiring leader Harold Strong and to moderators Amy Adams, Kevin Byrne, Jordan Peterson, Matt Ballard, Russ Zarras, David Snow, Mary Morris, Tom Osha, Mike Bowman, Mark Skinner, and Brian Darmody for facilitating such timely, dynamic discussions. Plus, Diana Horn, you rock! Great job keeping the program running like a smooth oiled machine.
 
Our speakers and moderators knocked it out of the ballpark! Your knowledge shared and experience gained was impressive and impactful!
 
Our sponsors: we couldn’t do it without your continued partnership. Thank you for your continued and meaningful support.
 
Mike Bowman, AURP’s 2026 Vision Award recipient, the innovation economy of this country looks different because you chose to lead. Because of you, places thrive, ideas accelerate, and people believe. Your legacy is not just what you built…It is the people you lifted…The institutions you strengthened…And the future you helped all of us see more clearly.​
 
We are energized by the passion of all convening changemakers, the leaders that create opportunities for all, build thriving communities through startup support, and shape the places that bring them together.
