Each year, the Leavitt Group Partners Conference brings together agencies from across the country—representing more than 290 locations—for a time of connection, learning, and shared purpose. The conference creates space for industry leaders to exchange ideas, strengthen relationships, and reflect on the work that drives our network forward.
A highlight of the event is the opportunity to recognize the individuals and agencies who stand out for their commitment, performance, and impact. The 2026 awards celebrate those who continue to raise the standard and contribute to the strength of the Leavitt Group community.
