Fall Conference

REVVED UP

2026 WAMOA Fall Conference
Oct. 7-9, 2026 - Yakima Convention Center, Yakima, WA

This year's conference is a call to step on the gas together--and to rally when the roads get rough. Inspired by the speed of the racetrack and the precision of a pit crew, this theme celebrates momentum, teamwork, and clear communication. It's about fine-tuning our engines, trusting our crew, and making smart, rapid decisions that keep us moving forward.

Just as importantly, Revved Up recognizes that not every race goes perfectly. When challenges hit, progress comes from pulling into the pit together--recalibrating, supporting one other, and getting back on track stronger than before. At WAMOA, this theme invites members to show up ready to innovate, collaborate, have fun, and embrace the race-day spirit--because every role matters, every connection counts, and our greatest gains come when we move in sync.

Attendee Registration opens in June 2026

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Opening Keynote: Mark Mohammadpour

"The Buoyant Leader: Managing Yourself and Your Pit Crew Through the Checkered Flag"

When the waves rise, buoyant leaders rise higher. Mark Mohammadpour’s Keynote Conversation delivers a fresh perspective on leadership resilience, reframing pressure as information rather than intimidation.

Blending neuroscience, personal transformation, and humor, Mark teaches how calm is the new credibility and how well-being is the new strength.

Closing Keynote: Lee Rubin

"Navigating Change: The Secrets of Extraordinary Teams"

In today’s fast-paced business landscape, organizations face numerous challenges that can impact morale, engagement, and performance. If not handled properly, these challenges can strain team relationships and jeopardize overall success.

This keynote reveals the essential shifts in mindset and strategies that extraordinary teams use to navigate change and achieve success.

Lee shares a proven framework, extracted from his experience on high-performing teams in sports and business, to help your team thrive in uncertain times.

By applying these principles, your team will learn how to turn challenges into opportunities for growth, innovation, and customer centricity
