Go Big


This Year We're Charging Forward 

Pushing through market conditions, overcoming regulatory challenges, breaking through outdated systems. We're developing critical relationships, integrating new technology, and implementing new processes. We'll be leading by example, and getting our teammates on board.

What You Know is What You’re Worth
How to: Preserve Institutional Knowledge. Strengthen Valuation. Ensure Continuity.
Thomas Mann - AgencyFocus

What would happen to the value of your agency if one of your key people (or someone you don't even realize is key) walked out the door tomorrow? If that question makes you pause, just know you’re not alone. With an aging workforce, growing talent gaps, and increased pressure on agency perpetuation, protecting your institutional knowledge isn’t just a smart move— it’s a valuation strategy.

We'll dive into the data behind what’s driving agency valuation today, why knowledge transfer is one of the most overlooked (yet powerful) pillars of long-term value, and how to protect it with smart processes and tools. 


Two Minutes with Tim LIVE: Answer to THAT Question
Tim Dodge - Big I NY


Art of the Possible
Caitlin Evans - Applied Systems

Applied will give us a special behind-the-scenes look at a soon to be released set of features that will help us see all of our agency tech in a new way.


PANEL | Digital Shortcuts: AI Tools to Cross-Sell, Increase Efficiency & Retain
