Grapevine, Texas (DFW)

2026 Management Conference


April 8–10, 2026

Lead Through What’s Next

If you’re in a leadership role right now, you’re making decisions with more pressure and less certainty than ever before—managing risk, developing talent, meeting stakeholder expectations, and navigating change at every level of your operation.

You don’t need more noise. You need a sharper perspective and better conversations.

The 2026 Management Conference brings together senior leaders across operations, engineering, commercial strategy, and enterprise services for exactly that. Through deep-dive sessions, peer-led panels, and off-the-record roundtables, you’ll walk away with more than a list of takeaways. You’ll leave with answers, alignment, and the clarity to lead forward.

This year’s keynote speaker, Muriel Wilkins—executive coach, author of Leadership Unblocked, and host of Coaching Real Leaders—will help you remove what’s in the way of your leadership impact. Plus, all attendees will receive a copy of her book.

This is where clarity meets community. And where the next chapter of your leadership begins with purpose, not pressure.

Keynote Spotlight

Muriel Wilkins

"Leadership Unblocked"


Author of Leadership Unblocked
Host, Coaching Real Leaders (Harvard Business Review)

At some point in every leader’s journey, progress stalls—not from lack of knowledge, but from unseen beliefs and barriers that get in the way. In her keynote address, Muriel Wilkins brings a sharp, practical framework to help leaders recognize what’s holding them back and take decisive steps forward.

A trusted executive coach and CEO advisor to Fortune 500 leaders, Wilkins is the bestselling author of Leadership Unblocked and host of the award-winning podcast Coaching Real Leaders (Harvard Business Review). Her message is a powerful reminder that leadership clarity doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from doing the right things with greater intention.
