Is This Room for You?
You're not at the top yet — but you can see it from here. You've got the team, the title, and the trajectory. What you don't have is direct access to the unfiltered conversations happening at the next level.
That's what Champions Summit was built to give you.

See the Room
This is not a conference. It is a standard.
Calgary invests in mid-level leadership and connects sitting CEOs to each other. Leaders 1–2 levels from the C-Suite — the ones replacing them in the next decade — navigate that transition alone. Champions Summit fills that gap.
The Leaders You'll Spend Two Days With
Every voice in the room earned their seat. Here are a few of them.

What You'll Experience
Champions Summit isn't a conference. It's a working session with the leaders you're working to become.
CEO Fireside Conversations
You'll sit ten feet from sitting CEOs as they unpack the decisions, failures, and inflection points that shaped their path. No PR filter. No rehearsed answers. Just the conversations they only have with people they trust.
Diary of a COO + CFO Panels
You'll hear from the operators behind the scenes — the people who turn vision into execution — as they break down the trade-offs, missteps, and frameworks that moved the needle.
Mentor Café
You'll sit across from senior executives in small-group conversations designed for the questions you can't ask in a meeting at your own company.
The Room Itself
You'll spend two days with 149 other current and rising executives wrestling with the same questions you are — and many of them will be in your network long after the event ends.
The view from the second chair.
Full panel to be announced soon.
Inside the financial mind.
Full panel to be announced soon.
The mentors at your table.
A rotating small-group format. You'll sit across from senior executives — CEOs, founders, board chairs, and operators — from across industries.
Plus additional mentors confirming through summer 2026.
