Form real relationships with Advisors
SKIP is the only place to get one-on-one time with Sidekick's advisors. Walk away with growth advice, deals, partnerships and momentum.
SKIP events are different. No booths. No badge-scanning. No surface-level networking. Instead, we put the pedal down on unforgettable settings, a speedway, a famous racetrack, a riverside resort, built for real conversation and real alignment that drives real American Dreams.
There’s a reason we achieve an NPS score over 90 every year. Come see for yourself!

We’re officially kicking off the 2027 SKIP Event Series, and this year, we’re trading the conference room for the open road. This year’s theme is a celebration of American entrepreneurship, the people who chase it through business ownership and the classic American experiences that capture the spirit of that chase. More than anything, it's a reminder of why we do what we do.
SKIP Spring Adventure Series
March 30-31, 2027 | Fontainebleau Las Vegas
We're putting the pedal to the medal with our first 2027 event. The SKIP Spring Adventure Series peels out of the gate in Las Vegas with two days built for speed. At Las Vegas Motor Speedway, you'll choose your vehicle – an exotic supercar built for precision or a NASCAR stock car built to roar – and feel what it's like to hit the gas. Then, take time to come down from your adrenaline rush, relax and make connections at Fontainebleau, a MICHELIN Key and AAA Four Diamond resort.
Space is limited to 120 spots.
Registration opens January 2027
SKIP Summer Adventure Series
June 23-24, 2027 | Hotel Bourré Bonne
Hats on. Bets in. The American Dream has always started with a bet on yourself, but we’re giving you the chance to place a few more. This private Churchill Downs experience showcases a grass-level view and Winner’s Circle close. You’ll feel the thunder of the thoroughbreds down the most famous stretch of dirt in America, wearing a Derby hat you designed yourself. After the last race is called, we’ll celebrate and chase it with a bourbon tasting at The Last Refuge.
Space is limited to 120 spots.
Registration opens January 2027
SKIP Summit 2027
October 12-14, 2027 | Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort
This year, our flagship event heads to the Texas Hill Country for three days along the Colorado River at a AAA, Four Diamond resort, bringing the whole franchising community under one roof. By day, main stage workshops and the Franchise Force Golf Classic give you opportunities to learn and connect. By night, our iconic, themed evening events are where you’ll turn new connections into real relationships. Come for the content. Leave with the partnerships that move your American Dream forward.

We believe that connections are better made outside a conference room.
That's why SKIP attendees get to enjoy bucket list experiences at iconic locations like these.
