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.

Quiet – Join Me in the Silence

Q u i e t. Join me in my quiet place. There is only nature here. No sides. No judgment. You can leave your luggage at the gate. You can drop your mind full of the world in the pristine lake. Sit by me. The cliff is still warm from the sun. The birds are silent now. Watching the setting sun with us. Leave your shadows. They will merge into the sighing earth. Disappear into the gentle fury of Mother Earth.

~ Maria Lehtman 

Image: My quiet place. Nuuksio National Park –unless it is a sports weekend or a peak Saturday with busses full of tourists – the little lakeside filled with disco music from Japan or India or any other crowded-country wanderer looking for a place to hide in our vast wooden resorts. After all, we have more trees than people around here.

5 CONVERSATIONS

  1. Should we start a movement in the hospitality groups that everyone working has to wear a button?

Being nice makes communication easier.
