What To Expect at Accelerate
Growth is the oxygen for business
 
Business growth is vital. What has worked in the past isn’t a guarantee for the future. The introduction of complex data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) into business is transforming the way savvy business leaders manage their organization’s growth.

Accelerate is a new type of executive experience. We believe business executives are best served when they focus and learn from their peers. That's why we bring together the best of the best in one room to network, collaborate, and share WHAT'S WORKING NOW to accelerate business growth. Here’s what you can expect from this year’s Accelerate:
1
KEYNOTES AND PRESENTATIONS
We despise boring keynotes and panels along with the typical "bland" sessions that define most events and instead opt for up-to-date, actionable sessions delivered by real practitioners who have proven strategies and tactics that work. Think focused, crisp, “TED Talks” for business leaders. In addition to industry peers and experts, you will hear from marquee speakers Michael Lewis and Sugar Ray Leonard on their experiences that range from Wall Street to politics, to what it means to be a champion and not just a contender.
 
Valuable Connections
Attendees range from sales and marketing executives at established brands, chief customer officers at international organizations and startup founders who are working to build the brands of the future. This mix creates unique networking opportunities you just can’t find anywhere else.
 
Unique Experiences
Accelerate is a unique combination of focused work and focused play that will provide transformative business insights and connections at the incomparable Snowbird Resort that Forbes Magazine ranked as one of the “Top Ten Ski Resorts in North America”. Be our guest and enjoy the powder on the slopes or time at the spa as you finish your Accelerate experience.
