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

WE DON'T DO IT ALL, BUT WE DO IT ALL "FOR GOOD"

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.

Without Lines

Skin is dust from roots,

dug up botany strains fashion to ensemble cortege spreads

lay rest to casual distress,

structure without array,

strangled margins functioned to age with parity.

What’s left behind isn’t for you & I to comprehend,

all we can do is retrieve limits.

Mashed chickpeas hum us to murmur hunger paste in

black,

outlining the outset of hyalites.


Pared pedals & perished parchments grant short shrifts.
