Kickoff Presentation
Unstoppable Leader
Alex Weber
Focused on leadership? This is the keynote for you! Unstoppable Leadership begins with your unwavering commitment to yourself, your vision, and everyone you touch. But with this immense hunger for success comes immense pressure, challenges, and internal adversity. Alex Weber deep-dives on the actionable principles of what it takes to be an Unstoppable Leader. For yourself, and all those you lead.
Alex shares lessons and empowering stories from being one of the youngest coaches ever to win U.S. Lacrosse Coach of the Year, setting achievement records, and winning championships in his very first season of coaching – as well as uncommon & incredible stories from Leaders in the world. Alex honestly and openly talks about the challenges we face as leaders not only in our careers, but in our relationships and personal lives too.
Alex shows you how to navigate the external obstacles, internal roadblocks, and interpersonal dynamics that come with peak Leadership – especially how to best handle difficult personalities. A leader is only as successful as the people you lead, and we need to create a shared vision, cultivate a true bond centered upon trust, and activate our members to take positive action with our unified goals.
There is not one archetype for a leader, and we will identify, cultivate, and channel you to be your Unstoppable Leader. A leader that sets the tone for a culture of positivity, passion, and perseverance. This keynote is perfect for leaders of all experience levels who are ready to ignite a new season of achievement for themselves, and the people they lead!

Leveraging AI in Wholesale
Jason Bader
Everybody’s talking about AI. Half of them claim to have an AI solution, and the rest are busy predicting how it will transform the way we do business. But the conversation is almost always about the big picture — and almost never about the small, specific problems sitting in your branch right now.
Jason Bader, managing partner of The Distribution Team, tackles the biggest challenges in wholesale distribution and shows where AI actually makes you more efficient and more profitable. This isn’t about cutting headcount — the concern you hear most from associates. It’s about leading your team to see AI as a productivity tool, not a replacement for the people you count on.

EPIC2027 Evening Party
The party EPIC is known for is back, and this year we’ve added 36 holes. We’ve bought out Swingers Crazy Golf for the night — three floors of mini golf, carnival games, and arcade right inside Mandalay Bay. Four nine-hole courses, a live band downstairs, a DJ upstairs, open bar and food buffets all night. Every bit of it included.
Play a few rounds. Hit the dance floor. Or just find a corner and talk shop with the people who make this industry run. No cab, no walk down the Strip — just steps from where your day ends. Must be 21 or older to attend.
This session on February 11th, as well as the full EPIC2027 conference on February 12th and 13th, is FREE for executive staff of distribution businesses on a limited first-come-first-served basis.
