Are you ready to inspire your team, sharpen your leadership edge, and connect with fellow business leaders who are striving for greatness? Don’t miss the VACEOs Fall Leaders Conference — a high-impact event open to business owners, C-suite executives, and their teams.

This year’s conference features an electrifying keynote from internationally acclaimed speaker and best-selling author Ross Bernstein. With over 50 books to his name and appearances on CNN, ESPN, Fox News, and “CBS This Morning,” Ross brings a powerful and practical message about what it truly takes to win — in sports, in business, and in life.


🎤 Keynote Highlight: Ross Bernstein

“The Champion’s Code: Building Relationships Through Life Lessons of Integrity and Accountability from the Sports World to the Business World”

Ross has spent years interviewing over 1,000 professional athletes and coaches who were all part of championship teams. His research uncovers the common traits that separate good teams from great ones — and shows how those same principles apply to building elite business cultures.

In this high-energy, visually engaging session, Ross will share:

  • What makes champions in sports — and how to replicate that mindset in your business
  • How servant leadership and a strong moral compass drive sustained success
  • The role of integrity, ethics, and “doing things the right way” in building lasting relationships
  • Practical strategies to build a culture of excellence and become a trusted partner to your clients
  • How to turn disruption into opportunity and create momentum in your organization

Whether you’re a founder, executive, or rising leader, this session will leave you energized and equipped with real-world insights you can immediately put into practice.


💼 Who Should Attend?

This conference is designed for:

  • CEOs, business owners, and entrepreneurs
  • Senior leaders and executive teams
  • High-potential managers and team leaders
  • Anyone passionate about driving growth and culture in their organization

Bring your team for a shared learning experience that will elevate your entire organization.


🗓️ Don’t Miss Out!

The Fall Leaders Conference is one of the most anticipated events of the year for our community. It’s your chance to step away from the day-to-day, invest in your growth, and return with fresh ideas and renewed motivation.

The afternoon will conclude with a networking reception.

Reserve your spot today — and start building your championship team.
