Leadership Retreat 2026
Three intentional days designed for returners and rising voices — deep connection, relevant insights, and moments that move us forward together.
Where Southern Charm Meets Modern Luxury
From the sun-drenched shores of Naples in 2023 to the breathtaking peaks of Deer Valley in 2024, our Leadership Retreats have been incredible journeys of connection, growth, and shared insights. We're so grateful to all of you who have made these past events such resounding successes, and we're thrilled to build on that momentum.
This year, we're taking our third annual Leadership Retreat to the historic charm of Savannah, Georgia! We've chosen The Thompson Savannah, a stunning waterfront hotel that perfectly blends modern luxury with the city's rich heritage. Prepare for curated sessions with Brian Parsley, immersive conversations, and plenty of time to soak in the riverfront energy.
Read on for all the details on our exciting agenda, inspiring speakers, and unique Savannah experiences. We can’t wait to welcome back returning attendees and new participants! So don't delay, register today!
Best,

See you next time!
Set on the riverfront at Eastern Wharf, the Thompson Savannah pairs Savannah’s storied charm with floor-to-ceiling windows, curated art, and a vibrant culinary scene.
Our welcome reception unfolds in the Sunroom — an airy indoor/outdoor lounge with panoramic views — while spacious meeting studios and cozy gathering nooks keep conversation flowing all weekend.
When sessions conclude, step outside to explore Riverwalk, lounge by the pool, or hop on the house bikes to discover Savannah’s iconic squares.
Stay in Style
Our home base is the Thompson Savannah — a Hyatt property perched on the Savannah River in Eastern Wharf. Floor-to-ceiling windows, locally inspired design, and effortless access to Riverwalk adventures make it the perfect canvas for gathering and unwinding.
