A DECADE+ OF STORYTELLING POWERED BY THE BEST WRITERS ON THE PLANET

BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

Can Two Words Really Change The World?

Can you really make a difference with two words and a simple gesture? The answer is yes! Something amazing happens when you share positivity in the world. Today people crave connection more than ever, yet feel more isolated than ever. We’re all here for a reason. We’re all essential. We need, and are needed by each other. Especially now.
The You Matter Marathon is creating and enriching positive connections between people and within communities. Last November people from all 50 states and 59 countries shared 431,460 You Matter cards! This year we’re determined to share 1 Million You Matter cards. To see the You Matter Marathon in action, enjoy this short video:
