CCN Innovate 2026:

NaN days, NaN hours, NaN minutes, NaN seconds


Keynote Speaker

Sarah Wells Olympian. Leadership Expert. Bolt of Energy.

With over a decade of elite competition and a masters degree in leadership, Sarah is set out to uncover the true elements of excellence and how we can embody it every day.

Sarah’s mission is to help people see that excellence is for everyone. After dedicating a decade to understanding the elements of excellence, Sarah is committed to ensure excellence isn’t just a word we read on the back of a cereal box, but instead it’s something we can actually embody on a daily basis.

Sarah’s philosophy center’s on the idea that excellence isn’t about perfection—it’s about breaking free from limiting beliefs and constantly striving to outperform who you were yesterday. She believes that when you dare to break the blueprint, chase crazy ideas, and focus on doing the small things exceptionally well, excellence becomes contagious, elevating not just your life but those around you.

Renowned for her practical strategies and compelling storytelling, Sarah empowers audiences to find their own excellence, transform challenges into opportunities for growth, and achieve lasting success.


Todd Stottlemyre Former MLB Pitcher & World Series Champion

Todd delivers a dynamic and transformational message rooted in mindset, peak performance, and personal leadership. As a 3-time World Series champion turned successful entrepreneur, Todd pulls from a lifetime of high-stakes experiences – from the pressure of pitching in the big leagues to navigating business and personal loss. His talks go beyond motivation – they challenge audiences to rewire limiting beliefs, break through mental barriers, and adopt a relentless approach to life and business. Whether he is sharing lessons from the mound or moments of personal transformation, Todd equips people with the tools to take control of their mind and perform at the highest level.



GP LeBourdais, PhD Founder of Didametic Consulting

In this one day Pre-Conference Workshop, led by a Stanford-trained business development expert, GP LeBourdais, you will learn how to use basic AI tools to analyze your data to find out what's working and what's not. You’ll leave with several deliverables you can use immediately to enhance your business, including AI agents, custom dashboards built with your own data, and strategic plans to help you identify key insights and apply them to your business. Please note this requires a separate registration from the conference as seating is limited.

REGISTRATION and CANCELLATION POLICY: All cancellations must be received in writing at least 30 days before the start of the event to receive a refund. Cancellations made less than 30 days before the start of the event will forfeit all amounts paid. You can take advantage of Purchase Protection to qualify for a full refund due to qualifying unforeseen circumstances.

No Headhunting Policy:

Take a moment to review the terms and conditions for this event
In order to gain admittance to any CCN Conference and remain a member in good standing in CCN, and for the protection of all Members, Member Employees, and Subs, we have enacted the following No Headhunting Policy:

There is to be absolutely no discussion whatsoever about recruitment between member companies. Any inference, or discussion (even if only joking), about changing employers from one member company to another is ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN! WE CANNOT HAVE THIS BEHAVIOR AT OUR CONFERENCES. If we allowed this behavior, some companies would be afraid to send their people to the Conferences or network with CCN, and thus they would not gain the tremendous benefit of their people learning and networking. Before Headhunting becomes a problem, and a member, employee, or sub is affected, these are the Rules and Penalties:

Registration for the Conference will include a No Headhunting agreement. CCN Member Companies shall inform its employees of this Policy.
Any alleged Headhunting will be investigated. The parties involved will be asked to put in writing their claim, and their defense. A CCN Member Committee will evaluate the written responses. The Committee will be secret, unknown to the parties in dispute, and other CCN Members. After deliberation, voting of the committee will be by ballot.
The Penalty, if a Member company (or any employee of a Member company) headhunted in violation of the membership rules, the Member Company that initiated the head hunting may be required to a) pay CCN to serve as mediator between the parties to determine whether a normal Head Hunting Charge, 20% annual wage, should be incurred by the guilty member, b) stop attending future Conferences, and/or c) withdraw its CCN Membership.
If Members want to ethically network together to trade/share employees, or subs, that is a different situation and not covered by this Policy. That is between two business owners, not a business owner and an employee, or an employee and an employee.

Add Purchase Protection for a small fee and get a 100% refund of your event purchase if you're prevented from attending due to a qualifying unforeseen circumstance. See all that's covered.

Purchase Protection will give you a 100% refund should you encounter:

Sudden illness or injury
Death in the family
Transportation Failure
Employment Obligations
Acts of Nature
Crime & Home Emergency

Get a 100% refund of your original event purchase, including taxes and fees, if a qualifying unforeseen circumstance prevents you from attending. Certain exclusions apply. Not valid for events, attendees, or travel outside the USA. Purchase Protection is not insurance and is charged separately. Read full terms and conditions.
