This year’s retreat centers around the theme Elevate - a reflection of where we are as a firm and where we’re headed. Elevate symbolizes our journey, marked by sustained growth, a stronger foothold across key industries and markets, and the recent unveiling of a refreshed brand identity, which was reimagined for the first time in nearly 75 years. This theme serves not only as a celebration of our progress, but as a call to raise our collective vision, performance, and impact as we shape the future of the firm together.
We invite you to join us at this year’s retreat as we prepare to celebrate our 75th Anniversary in 2026 – another remarkable milestone for Adams & Reese.
