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.

Andrew,
“Forging Meaning…and Building Identity”
Grateful for you in that I can’t even humanly imagine someone to have the courage and capacity to share the amount of wisdom as eloquently as you just did*

Thank you for sharing yours and may the world, with childlike hearts, LISTEN!!!
