Some events inspire you. This one will change how you lead.

The High Road Summit is coming back to Calgary and area on November 6, 2026 — and this time, we’ve built the day around a single, powerful idea: that the leaders in this room are shaping the future of their businesses, their teams, and their community.

Our theme is Building Leaders Who Shape the Future. It isn’t just a tagline. It’s a belief that leadership at this level ripples outward — into every business you run, every person you lead, and every corner of your city that your work touches.

Featuring three of the world’s most respected leadership voices — John C. Maxwell, Rory Vaden, and Dan Heath — plus additional speakers still to be announced, this is a full day of world-class insight, genuine connection, and practical tools you’ll be ready to use on November 7.

Whether you’re a business professional building something from the ground up, a leader trying to get more from your team, or an entrepreneur ready to go further than you’ve gone before — this day was designed for you.

Come for the content. Stay for the community. Leave ready to lead.
