Workshops & Professional Development
Elevate your business operations and leadership skills with expert-led sessions, interactive workshops, and collaborative peer roundtables. This year, dive into social media strategy with Bryce Conlan of Dance Motion Marketing, and discover how to unlock your team’s true potential with Deborah Kangas of Culture Index. You'll also learn how to integrate AI into your daily business operations and share rapid-fire success stories during our high-energy "ADCC Victory Lap". Complete your professional development journey with mindful sessions led by Michael Ian Cedar and collaborative wildcard peer breakouts designed to help you tackle your biggest business challenges.
Vendor Fair
Connect directly with industry-leading Trade Show Vendors and ADCC Business Partners to find innovative ways to streamline your operations and save money. Take advantage of our dedicated Vendor Fair hours on Tuesday and Wednesday, or attend high-impact Business Partner breakout sessions scheduled throughout the retreat. For personalized business solutions, you can book private, one-on-one appointments to collaborate directly with partners. There are also plenty of relaxed networking opportunities, including Tuesday evening's Thank You Cocktails and Wednesday's Lunch with the Business Partners.
ADCC Social Events
Reconnect and recharge under the Texas sky with an exciting lineup of social and wellness activities. Kick things off early with an informal Sunday cash bar, followed by Monday’s Opening Lunch and a collaborative, competitive "Fired Up & Grounded" Chili Cook-Off. Unwind at the "Pause in the Pines" Welcome Party, clear your mind with morning yoga and power walks under the forest canopy, or join us for a fun night out at Ale & Ivy. We will close out the retreat on Wednesday evening with a festive cocktail party, the annual group photo, and cozy "Campfire Connections" under the stars.
