Relationship Economics® Summit
Senior Executive Symposium
An intimate and highly immersive leadership experience where accomplished executives step away from daily demands to rethink how relationships, strategy, and growth intersect—transforming how they lead, connect, and create lasting enterprise value.
Even though we're in different industries, the leaders here and the problems and challenges we're focused on are more similar than different. Nour is a natural moderator of rich discussions. I have built relationships from the last event that I have leveraged to help my teams and our business, and I look forward to that coming out of this event as well.
Relationships. Reimagined.
The Next Era of Strategic Leadership.
The RES Senior Executive Symposium brings together accomplished leaders across industries for two full days of candid dialogue, strategic reflection, and relational depth.
The room every relationship-driven leader wants to be in.
Pursell Farms · October 14–16, 2026
Through sessions on investor and boardroom trends, resilient execution, talent strategy, and revenue growth under pressure, participants explore how to lead with clarity amid uncertainty and complexity. Interactive case studies and panels featuring board directors and C-suite leaders offer actionable insights into balancing cost, culture, and customer experience.
Combined with informal mentoring, peer exchange, and immersive experiences, the symposium fostered a rare environment for senior executives to pause, recalibrate, and strengthen both their strategic foresight and their most enduring competitive advantage—relationships that drive performance and growth.

I first engaged Nour as a keynote speaker and an executive coach in a prior role close to two decades ago. He has only become better over the years - not only is he a masterful moderator of rich executive discussions, he pushes the Summit attendees to show up as the best version of themselves. Highly recommend this experience to every senior executive. Absolutely worth it.

A colleague attended the last Summit and insisted that I join this year. Although reluctant as we've been inthrawled amid an M&A event, I'm delighted that I made time to attend this fantastic gathering. The cross-industry/functional executives provide independent insights and unique perspectives that have been invaluable.
