WELCOME TO THE RETREAT INDUSTRY FORUM
Denver, Colorado
May 14-17, 2026Â
Disrupting, Challenging, and Advancing the Retreat Industry.
The Retreat Industry Forum is a three-day immersive experience designed for bold leaders within the retreat space who refuse to choose between purpose and profit and who are ready to dismantle the industry norms that have paralyzed the industry for far too long.
Together, we’ll challenge the status quo and advance the industry by exploring cutting-edge technology, upcoming trends, and innovative strategies on the horizon without censoring or diluting our commitment to profitability and sustainability.Â
Join Industry Disrupters, Erin B. Haag, Alison Katschkowsky, and Shannon Jamail, along with other leading experts, at a forum that will redefine what’s possible in the retreat industry. Â
TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE!
