Who should attend?
Catalyst is designed for growth-minded home service owners and leaders.
Whether you're an owner, general manager, operations leader, service manager, sales leader, or an emerging leader within your organization, you'll find practical strategies, meaningful connections, and actionable takeaways.
Not sure if Catalyst is the right fit? Reach out to us at info@ownedandoperated.com with some information about your business, and we'll be happy to provide guidance.
Can I bring members of my team?
Absolutely.
In fact, we encourage it. Some of the biggest breakthroughs happen when leadership teams learn together and return home aligned around the same goals, priorities, and action plans.
What airport should I fly into?
Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) is the recommended airport and is approximately 20-30 minutes from most event locations.
What hotel should I stay at?
We're currently finalizing our official hotel block and will announce accommodations soon.
Attendees will receive hotel information and booking details as they become available.
Will sessions be recorded?
No.
We believe the value of Catalyst comes from being in the room, participating in the conversations, and building relationships with other attendees.
Sessions will not be recorded or made available after the event.
Can vendors attend?
Only approved sponsors may attend Catalyst.
We're intentionally limiting the number of sponsors to create a better experience for attendees and ensure meaningful engagement for our partners.
If you're interested in sponsorship opportunities, please contact Kristen at info@ownedandoperated.com.
What is included with my ticket?
Catalyst offers three ticket options: General Admission, Pro Pass, and VIP.
Each tier includes different experiences, access levels, and benefits. You can compare all ticket options and inclusions on the registration page.
We're limiting attendance to approximately 100 attendees.
We believe that's the sweet spot large enough to bring together incredible operators and leaders from across the industry, but small enough to foster meaningful conversations and real relationships.
The Home Service Industry Is Changing Fast
The best operators aren't waiting to catch up.
Join 100 growth-minded home service owners and leaders for four days of practical ideas, proven systems, and meaningful connections.
