They'll explore where they see the industry heading, the opportunities and challenges ahead, and the decisions they'd make differently if they were starting over today. Expect candid perspectives, hard-earned lessons, and insights you can apply as you think about the next stage of your own business.

The whitewater zone: financial survival from $500K to $1M Session details▾

Growth doesn't always mean more profit. As inspection companies scale, many enter "the whitewater": the stage where revenue is climbing, the team is growing, and investments in staff and infrastructure can leave margins tighter than they were as a solo operator.

This session will help you understand the financial realities of scaling from roughly $500K toward $1M and make smarter decisions along the way. You'll learn how to identify hidden cash bleeds, understand your true break-even point, build reserves for slower seasons, structure inspector compensation, and balance profitability with continued growth.

Walk away with practical financial frameworks to help you decide when to hire, when to optimize, where to protect your margins, and how to navigate the whitewater without sacrificing the business you're working so hard to build.

Workshop: AI agent builder Session details▾

Your business already has a brain. It's just scattered across inboxes, inspection software, spreadsheets, documents, and the knowledge in your team's heads. This hands-on workshop shows you how to bring that information together and turn it into something AI can actually use.

You'll begin building your own Company Brain: a centralized source of business knowledge and data that can power AI agents, surface insights, and help you make faster, better-informed decisions. You'll learn how to identify the right data to include, pull together information from different systems, define the operational metrics that matter most, incorporate employee and team performance metrics, build an AI chief of staff that can answer questions using your company's information, and create a foundation for more powerful AI agents and automations down the road.

You'll leave with the first version of your Company Brain and AI agent underway, along with a clear path for continuing to build a smarter, more connected business.

What to bring: your laptop, plus logins and access to your company data.

Surrender control: building a leadership layer that runs without you Session details▾

You built the company by being involved in everything, but the skills that got you here can become the very thing holding you back from what's next. To keep growing, your business needs leaders who can make decisions, solve problems, and drive results without you in the room.

This session explores how to move beyond delegating tasks and build a true leadership layer: identify and develop leaders who take real ownership, create clear roles and accountability, build incentive structures that reward performance and loyalty, establish operating rhythms that keep the business moving, decide what you need to stop doing as the owner, and transition responsibilities without losing visibility or control.

Walk away with a practical framework for empowering your team, stepping out of the day-to-day, and building a company that can grow, and run, without depending on you for every decision.

The marketing machine: measuring what matters and killing what doesn't Session details▾

More marketing doesn't always mean more inspections. The key is knowing which activities are actually producing results, and having the discipline to stop spending time and money on the ones that aren't.

This session breaks down how to build a more measurable, accountable marketing machine: balance agent acquisition with retention, turn new agent relationships into long-term loyalty, measure the true ROI of sponsorships and events, audit digital advertising results, build smarter sponsorship programs, and evaluate the real economics of CE classes.

Walk away with practical ways to measure what's working, eliminate wasted spend, and put more of your marketing budget behind the activities that actually grow your business.

From job post to revenue-ready: building an inspector onboarding and training process Session details▾

Hiring a great candidate is only the beginning. The real challenge is turning that new hire into a confident, capable, revenue-producing inspector, and doing it consistently every time you grow your team.

You'll learn how to build a clear 30-, 60-, and 90-day path from new hire to independent inspector, create training plans for career changers, part-time hires, and experienced inspectors, develop scalable SOPs, use ride-alongs and defined milestones to measure readiness, set up simple accountability systems that uncover gaps early, explore alternative pipelines like military SkillBridge, improve retention with a clear path for growth, and use capacity numbers to know when you're ready for the next hire.

Walk away with a framework for building an inspector development machine that gets the right people trained, productive, and generating revenue on a repeatable schedule.

Workshop: building an AI design system Session details▾

Turn AI into a practical design tool for your business. In this hands-on workshop, you'll build an AI-powered design system that captures your company's brand and gives you a foundation for creating consistent, professional content faster.

You'll learn how to bring your brand elements (fonts, colors, logos, and existing guidelines) into today's AI design tools and set them up to work together. By the end of the session, you'll have a system you can keep using to create on-brand assets without starting from scratch every time.

What to bring: your laptop, along with your company's fonts, colors, logos, and brand guidelines or markdown file if you have one.

Afternoon lakeside socialSponsored by Vivint Session details▾

Sometimes it's more fun when you don't have to wait. This Fall Conference, we're swapping out the Platinum Lounge for a post-conference lakeside social on Margaritaville's private sandy beach, sponsored by Vivint.

It kicks off the moment the last breakout wraps, so you can head straight from the session room to the sand. Expect great food, music, beach games, and a cash bar while the day's conversations keep going and the sun sets over Lake Conroe.
