Fall Leaders Conference 2026

It was held at Jepson Alumni Center at The University of Richmond, 442 Westhampton Way, Richmond, VA 23229.

It was billed for CEOs, business owners, entrepreneurs, senior executives, and high-potential managers from across Virginia.

The afternoon keynote session and the networking reception that followed were scheduled.

Yes, Fall Leaders Conference was open to all leaders, not only VACEOs members.

Dan Gingiss, a customer experience expert known as The Experience Maker, was scheduled to deliver the keynote.

Remarkable by Design, From Forgotten to Unforgettable was scheduled to apply the WISE framework (Witty, Immersive, Shareable, Extraordinary) to organizational transformation.

Executives at Virginia business leadership events usually wear business professional or smart business casual, such as a suit or blazer without necessarily a tie.

It suited Virginia CEOs, business owners and emerging managers who wanted a short afternoon of networking, since it was a five-hour program with a customer experience keynote by Dan Gingiss followed by a reception, and it was open to non-members of VACEOs. Specialists wanting technical depth or multi-day programming would have gotten less from a single afternoon keynote format.
