Description

Join us for an energizing day of ideas, insights, and inspiration where business leaders and entrepreneurs from across Arizona will come together to explore the future of work, technology, and hospitality. The Greater Sedona Chamber of Commerce is proud to partner with Arizona Talks to welcome you to the Sedona Innovation Summit. 

The program opens with a powerful keynote from Chris Carlisle—author of Move or Die, former Head Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Seattle Seahawks, and a nationally recognized success coach and motivational speaker. Drawing from his career and personal journey, Carlisle will share what it takes to build a culture of success in any organization or community.

Following the keynote, the Summit will move into a series of engaging panel discussions, starting with a discussion around how the AI race is unfolding right here in Arizona, highlighting the pro-business policy that positioned our state as a national leader in the space. 

Experts will examine how AI and automation are transforming the workforce, shaping the skills and opportunities of the future. The conversation will then turn to the rapidly evolving hospitality sector, exploring how innovation and new business models are redefining travel and guest experiences. 

From innovation in small business across the state to the business leaders who are building the future, the Sedona Innovation Summit is designed to inspire action, spark collaboration, and prepare attendees for the challenges—and opportunities—of tomorrow.
