Live on Stage
Juan Bendana
Confidence is the X-factor that elevates performance from average to extraordinary. Juan Bendana reveals how confidence can be cultivated and leveraged as your ultimate competitive advantage, helping you thrive in the most challenging and dynamic environments. He’ll help you identify the barriers to growth and provide the actionable tools to move through them with confidence.
Alyson Van Hooser
Today’s workforce demands a new leadership style if success is to be an option. This inspiring keynote reframes and redefines how leaders must position themselves and their teams to ignite performance results and seize new opportunities. Alyson will share how a profound perspective shift and common language for creating a leadership culture breeds high-performance; a practical 3-step process for clarifying individual and team strategic goals and action plans; and inspiration to develop innovative approaches for engaging their team and achieving long-term success.
Cliff Goldmacher
We can’t come to Nashville and not see how music can inspire us as leaders! Cliff, a Grammy-recognized and #1 hit songwriter, will share how keys to writing a hit song can translate to business, including innovation, creativity, problem-solving, strategy, vision, team unification and more.
Troy Hazard
Troy Hazard had bought, grown and sold more companies before his 40th birthday than some would even consider in a lifetime. Using his real-world experience of surviving 5 significant economic corrections and working as a consultant for some of the world’s biggest brands, Troy has developed proven strategies to future-proof your business by predicting issues in business before you need to experience them. Troy will step through a process to identify the unique opportunity business leaders have in the face of adversity and change.
A Grand Ole Time
We’ll be steps away from the lights and sounds of Broadway so we’ve built a schedule that will allow you plenty of time to explore the music scene and history of Nashville on your own. But save your Monday night for SIMA and join us for a dinner cruise on the General Jackson Showboat. Enjoy stunning views, dinner and toe-tapping entertainment with fellow industry leaders while "rollin' down the river."
General Jackson Show Boat - Monday, August 25, 2025 (6-10 pm)
Cost: $195 per person (separate fee)
Includes: transportation, dinner cruise, live entertainment and 2 drink tickets.
Add on at checkout. Advance registration required by 8/8.
