Tuesday, September 15 - Wednesday, September 16, 2026

Leadership Love isn’t your typical conference. It’s a deeply human gathering for agency leaders and changemakers who have weathered tough calls, messy transitions, and defining personal moments. We’re shining a light on the raw, unfiltered stories that rarely get told.
Whether you’re at your own crossroads, steering a team through change, or simply seeking to reconnect with what truly matters, Leadership Love offers space for honest reflection, practical wisdom, and real human connection. Together, we’ll explore how to lead with clarity, creativity, and compassion—without losing yourself along the way.

Attendee Acclaim
What was 2025’s Leadership Love like, and what will you get out of it? Here’s what a one attendee had to say…
"This was not a conference of how to make our agencies better or more profitable or more efficient.
This was two days of stories about how to love ourselves, lead our teams, and be better humans. It was a reminder that we are all dealing with a really heavy mental and emotional climate right now, and we all need to focus on our own resilience to be the best we can be for our teams and families."
