Dallas, TX | November 9th and 10th, 2026 | Limited Spots Available
You set goals…but do you actually hit them?
Are your priorities grounded in strategy or buried in busyness?
Are you relying on hustle or a strategy you actually trust?
Do you feel confident that the time invested on your business is moving your agency forward?
A Place to Grow
Elevate is so much more than a typical workshop or conference. It’s an opportunity to expand the way you think about your business, connect with other agency owners who are working toward the same goals, and leave with new ideas, renewed momentum, and a clearer path forward.
Oh, and the food and atmosphere aren’t bad either.
Day 1
Mindset & Clarity
The first day is dedicated to helping you reset and expand their mindset, removing limiting beliefs that may be holding you back and reinforcing a forward-thinking, intentional approach to business success. A full speaker list will be released soon.
- Inspiring keynote speakers to shift perspective and ignite forward-thinking
- Structured networking opportunities that foster meaningful peer connections
- Interactive breakout discussions designed to challenge assumptions and unlock fresh insights
- Hands-on participation that encourages clarity and personal reflection, not passive listening
- Vision refinement exercises to help clarify where you want to take your agency in 2027
Day 2
2027 Agency Plan
The second day is structured as a hands-on workshop where agency owners will build out their strategic roadmap for 2027. Unlike typical goal-setting exercises where objectives are defined but not revisited, this session will focus on creating a structured framework that can be consistently applied throughout the year.
- Build a clear, customized strategy tailored to your agency’s current stage and future goals
- Work through real business challenges in a guided, collaborative environment
- Refine your 2027 roadmap in real time with direct feedback and expert facilitation
- Leave with a practical, executable plan you can confidently follow all year long
I Get You
Because I Was You
From Agency Owner To $15m Valuation To Coach
Hi, my name is Russel Dubree. I’m a business coach specifically for agencies and I’ll be hosting this event.
The agency owner’s journey is unique and I know because I’ve walked it. At 25, I founded and grew a digital agency to a team of 40 before selling it for an 8-figure valuation. But what matters most wasn’t the exit; it was building a culture where people thrived, earning “Best Place To Work In Dallas” and becoming a registered B Corporation. A business that succeeded in Purpose, People, AND Profit.
I’d be honored to have you join me in Dallas, surrounded by a great group of agency leaders. You’ll find the details and application info below, I’m looking forward to meeting you in person.

This workshop is designed for agency leaders who are ready to make a meaningful investment in their business. It’s ideal for digital agencies with teams of 5 to 25 people, regardless of revenue, who are seeking clarity, strategy, and momentum heading into 2027. Whether you’re a current An Agency Story client or new to the community, you’ll be part of a thoughtful, growth-minded group of peers.
Your registration covers everything you need to fully engage in the retreat experience. That includes a light breakfast, lunch, snacks, and beverages on both days, along with all programming, materials, and hands-on tools to help you build your 2027 plan. You’ll also receive post-event support to keep you on track well after the retreat ends. Travel and hotel accommodations are not included, but we’ll be sharing preferred lodging options near the venue. Pricing is per agency, see details below for those with more than one attendee.
Absolutely. In fact, it’s encouraged! If you have a business partner or key team members who help drive strategy and make big-picture decisions, this retreat is a great opportunity to align your leadership team around a shared plan. You can bring up to 5 additional people from your agency at a rate of $350 per person.
The workshop takes place Monday and Tuesday, November 9th & 10th, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM each day. We recommend arriving on Sunday, November 8th, and departing on Wednesday, November 12 (or taking a late flight out Tuesday night if needed). There will be an optional evening gathering after Day 1 for anyone who wants to connect further.
The workshop will take place at The Grand Hotel and Ballroom located in Mckinney, TX. This is also the preferred location for hotel accommodations and a block of rooms have been held at a discounted rate.
This isn’t a one-and-done event. Every attendee will receive 90 days of post-workshop support designed to keep the momentum going. That includes a structured email follow-up sequence, access to a private Slack group for peer support and accountability, and a 1-1 check-in in early 2027.
Absolutely. This workshop is intentionally designed to foster connection, not just content. Day 1 in particular offers multiple opportunities to engage with other agency owners through guided discussions, breakout sessions, and a relaxed evening gathering. That said, all interaction is optional, you’ll have the space to engage at your own pace and comfort level. You’ll leave with not only a plan but also a community of peers to support you along the way.
If you have any additional questions or need more information, please feel free all of it to email elevate@anagencystory.com and someone will get back to you shortly.
