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.

A Kiss Ain’t Just A Kiss

In her young mind
a kiss ain’t just a kiss.

It’s yes.   
It’s no.

It’s “I’m not sure.”
It’s maybe-so.

It’s sexy.
It’s a test.

It’s hit or miss.
It’s so much more (than this).

It’s love.
It’s the truth.

It’s the whole truth
It’s nothing but… (her truths).

It’s real.
It’s passionate.

It’s deliberate.
It’s by accident.

It’s babe.
It’s a baby.

It’s always.
It’s forever.

It’s reasons.
It’s rhyme.

It’s rhythm.
It’s no regrets.

It’s a call.
It’s a response.

It’s a feeling.
It’s a sensation.

It’s a lifetime.
It’s in her mind.

A kiss ain’t just
a kiss.

Dedicated to: Careful who you first kiss (it’s hurtful to fall in love)
