Business is changing.

AI is reshaping how work gets done. Customers are changing how they buy. Great people remain difficult to find and develop. Margins are tighter, and for many owners, growth has created more complexity and less freedom.

RizeCon 2027 brings together business owners, executives, and entrepreneurs for two days of practical conversations about how the next generation of businesses will lead, operate, and grow.

THREE TRACKS

What do you need to build differently?

LEAD DIFFERENT

People · Culture · Leadership · Capacity

Developing leaders, building accountability, retaining great people, and creating a team that can perform without everything routing back to the owner.

Questions we’ll explore:

How do you develop leaders instead of creating followers?
How do you build accountability without micromanaging?
How do you retain and develop great people?
How should leadership change as AI changes the workplace?
How do you create a company that can operate without everything coming back to you?

OPERATE DIFFERENT

AI · Systems · Execution · Technology

Combining people, process, automation, and AI to remove bottlenecks, capture company knowledge, and execute more consistently.

Questions we’ll explore:

Where is AI actually creating measurable business value?
Which processes should you automate—and which should you never automate?
How do you capture the knowledge currently trapped inside your people?
How do you stop solving the same problems over and over?
What would break first if you disappeared from your company for 30 days?

GROW DIFFERENT

Revenue · Profit · Brand · Enterprise Value

Building profitable, sustainable growth through positioning, customer trust, financial clarity, and intentional relationships.

Questions we’ll explore:

How do customers discover and trust businesses in an AI-driven world?
How do you create demand when everyone can create content?
Where is profit hiding inside your existing business?
What actually increases enterprise value?
How do you grow without simply creating another job for yourself?

  • I was very interested in all the AI centric speakers and I've actually started implementing several of the tactics that were suggested. I'm starting a YouTube travel type channel and I've been building out the Brand and Marketing with the information that I learned. The tips that were espoused during the convention have been very helpful in more ways than one.

  • We truly felt great being included next to such big names & the number of shoutouts your team was able to give us was just incredible. This being my first Rizecon I was blown away at the calibers of speakers & the impact all the attendees had on each other in the breakouts.

    We generated very meaningful conversations with most folks & I’m excited to see how those shake out. Overall I just am so grateful to be involved & welcomed into the RizeCon community the way I have been. You know exactly what you’re doing, so please keep doing it!

  • Where to start? I loved the motivation I felt from each of the keynote speakers. The value and insight from each of the breakout sessions, and the great opportunity to meet so many like-minded people and network with each of them. I took away so much from this whole conference!
