Join us for the 2026 ace discovery event:
Discover if our ACE Peer Group Program is right for you at this special event for prospective members,. You’ll experience firsthand what a typical ACE Peer Group meeting entails, get to know some of our ACE members and alumni, and learn from our executive coaches and leading owners how to take your company to the next level.
If you decide to join the ACE Program, we will either create a new ACE group with your fellow attendees or if we believe one of our other ACE groups is a better fit for your particular needs and goals, we will recommend you be placed there. We’re currently running six ACE peer groups, and you will receive detailed information about each of them during the event so you can make an informed decision. You will attend both the ACE Discovery Meeting and our 2025 ACE Connect Meeting.
And if you decide our ACE Program is not right for you, you’re under no obligation to join.
This event and our ACE Peer Group Program are designed exclusively for owners. Register now at the link below and one of our executive coaches will be in touch to gather more information about you and your company.
