WELCOME TO THE RETREAT INDUSTRY FORUM
Denver, Colorado
May 14-17, 2026Â
Disrupting, Challenging, and Advancing the Retreat Industry.
The Retreat Industry Forum is the industry's only annual conference and expo where retreat professionals from around the world gather for education, connection, and growth. This three-day immersive experience is designed for bold leaders who refuse to choose between purpose and profit and who are ready to dismantle the outdated norms that have held our industry back for far too long.
Across three transformative days, we’ll dive into cutting-edge technology, emerging trends, and innovative strategies on the horizon, all without diluting our commitment to profitability, sustainability, and long-term success.
Join Industry Disrupters Erin B. Haag, Alison Katschkowsky, and Shannon Jamail, alongside other leading experts, at the forum that is redefining what’s possible in the retreat industry.
TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE!
