About Insights

This annual immersive 1.5-day retreat intentionally designed for association CEOs and executive leaders. Held at the start of each year, this high-impact gathering delivers cutting-edge education, reflective space, and deep peer connection—all curated to help leaders navigate complexity, spark innovation, and drive transformative action in a rapidly changing world.

Exclusive CEO Peer Group
The retreat’s intimate scale ensures meaningful dialogue among a hand-selected group of association executives. It’s a rare opportunity to step away from the daily grind and engage in candid conversations with leaders who understand your challenges and speak your language.

Reflective Space for Strategic Clarity
Surrounded by a serene setting, participants gain the space and focus to think deeply about their leadership, their organization’s trajectory, and the future of the association sector.

Adaptive Leadership in an Era of Transformation

As association CEOs, we are navigating an era of relentless transformation—technological disruption, shifting workforce expectations, evolving member needs, and societal change. The traditional playbook no longer applies. Today’s leaders must adapt continuously, embrace foresight, and shape organizational cultures that can thrive amid uncertainty.

At Insights 2026, participants will join a trusted community of fellow CEOs for 1.5 days of immersive learning, reflection, and peer dialogue. Together, we’ll explore how to:

• Redefine the CEO role for times of accelerated change
• Leverage culture—personal, board, and organizational—as a strategic asset
• Lead with inquiry and influence rather than answers alone
• Incorporate foresight practices to anticipate and shape the future
• Engage critical audiences to build resilience and relevance for the decade ahead

Delivered in a collaborative, interactive environment, this program will challenge participants to think differently, expand their leadership capacity, and leave with actionable commitments for the next 90 days. By the you'll be able to:

• Identify adaptive leadership practices that align with today’s CEO-level challenges.
• Apply foresight and inquiry techniques to strengthen board, staff, and member engagement.
• Recognize how personal, board, and organizational culture shape strategic outcomes.
• Explore emerging signals and trends that will influence the association sector in the decade ahead.
• Translate insights into a concrete 90-day Adaptive Leadership Commitment.
