Event Schedule

2-Day Operations & Sales Intensive

Day 1 is all about operations and people. Day 2 is all about sales and marketing. Presentations every morning, hands-on workshops every afternoon.

Arrival Evening

Welcome Reception & Dinner

Wednesday, June 23

This is an optional arrival evening — not a conference day. There are no workshops, just a relaxed welcome reception and dinner to connect with fellow restoration owners before the two full days begin. If you can't make Wednesday night, no problem — the conference itself runs Thursday and Friday.

What Members Are Saying

Hear from restoration owners who've attended our events.

Testimonials reflect individual members' experiences. Results are not typical and are not a guarantee of future performance.

James LaRosa

"What I learned from this event and I'm going to apply is being a better leader. As a company's growing, I have to step into a leadership role rather than an owner operator role."

Dallin Bowers

"Evolve is almost therapeutic—meeting people that actually understand not just the ups and downs of business, but the very specific ups and downs of owning a restoration business."

Jacky Nieto

"Evolve is going to help my business to continue growing. They provided information about a business plan, financials, and statistics. It's also the connections that we're building."

Ruslan

"We went from $1.5M to $5.5M in just 12 months thanks to the systems and strategies we learned."

Justin Feinstein

"What makes this group different isn't just the information - it's the people. There's real camaraderie here. Owners openly share what's working, what's not, and the lessons learned along the way."

Raul Gonzalez

"Evolve helped us shed light on things that we were not aware of, helping us tackle tough business problems and ultimately becoming a better organization."

Kylee Kishiyama

"I'm really grateful to be part of Evolve. I've been in other groups before, but this one feels… different. In all of the best ways. The support and willingness to help each other is real!"

Copie Burnett

"Evolve has simplified running a mitigation company by providing clarity, direction, and a proven path to growth. You're supported by experienced leaders and peers who share real-world insight."
