BUSINESS BUILDERS 2024

We are excited to announce we are returning to Nashville again this fall for our second annual Business Builders event, September 30-October 1, 2024 in Nashville, TN.

The Business Builders event will provide an opportunity for CEOs, owners, and select C-suite executives from midsize, family and founder owned businesses to come together as builders of businesses to learn, reflect, and share with one another.

We will have two days of rolling up our sleeves as our team shares critical insights into our Kanbrick Business System and tools that we utilize in our own Kanbrick companies. We will hold breakout sessions with actionable takeaways, hear from exceptional speakers, and offer networking with fellow business leaders across various backgrounds and industries.

Our second annual Business Builders event is powered by our existing Kanbrick Community, a curated and selective group of CEOs, founders, owners, and select C-suite executives as well as those wanting to engage and learn more about our growing Community.
