To kick things off, Oasys welcomed 10 new vendor partners to this year’s summit, as well as over a dozen new members. The group also launched its first-ever Oasys Awards to “recognize the people and companies raising the bar across [the Oasys] network,” as Oasys Director Hank Alexander put it.
Education blends peer-led and structure programming
Jason Magdic, development director, helped lead multiple member-driven learning sessions, facilitated through roundtable discussions. Live, anonymous surveys were used to help spark candid conversations, with group members discussing topics like confidence, go-to-market strategies and incorporating AI into everyday business operations
Educational programming included a value-energy matrix workshop presented by Vital, LLC, a talent development training led by The CoTeam and a OneShop digital services session that highlighted new integrations to streamline client engagement and project development.
“The overall benefits of Oasys Summit are the ability to talk to and build relationships with peers, vet new vendor products and have immediate access to vendors,” shared Oasys member Lawrence Walters with Imagine Home Technology. “This is the place for you if you are looking to grow your business.”
