Event Description
Back by popular demand! Join us on September 10-11, 2026, in Petoskey, Michigan, for "Operation Northern Exposure: Disrupt. Innovate. Lead.", a public safety executive leadership retreat brought to you by MACNLOW Associates in partnership with Command Presence.
In today’s ever-evolving public safety landscape, leaders must go beyond adaptation, they must drive innovation and shape organizations. This experience is designed for command-level professionals across all disciplines who are committed to building a bold, forward-thinking organizational culture. Through dynamic discussions, real-world case studies, and proven leadership strategies, attendees will gain practical insights to lead meaningful change, strengthen cross-discipline coordination, and develop a resilient, future-ready workplace. Explore approaches that enhance collaboration between communications and field operations, improve decision-making, and strengthen both organizational performance and community trust. Be part of a forward-focused conversation redefining public safety leadership and the culture needed to meet the demands of today and tomorrow.
Space is limited to 60 persons. The registration fee is $995 per person and includes breakfast and lunch on both days. Hotel accommodations are separate and discounted rates starting at $139 per night are available at Odawa Hotel & Casino. We will have a casual welcome mixer on the evening of Wednesday, September 9, starting at 7:30 pm, so please plan to arrive in time to participate.
