Each experience offers a different way to enter Crusaders. All three come together for the open-bar cocktail reception and dinner.
Golf Scramble
Spend the day at Northville Hills Golf Club with breakfast, golf, lunch, the event directory, Strategic Connection opportunities, and the evening cocktail reception and dinner.
Business relationships move differently on the course.
Professional Development
Join three speakers for practical sessions on leadership, decision-making, organizational resistance, and workplace change before connecting with the full Crusaders community during cocktails and dinner.
Learn something useful. Meet someone relevant.
Cocktail & Dinner Only
Join the entire Crusaders community for an open-bar cocktail reception followed by dinner in the banquet hall.
The connection without the full-day commitment.
All attendees receive a take-home event directory.
You are entering the same intentionally built room.
The three attendance experiences are different, but the purpose is the same: place the right business professionals in the room, create meaningful introductions, and give those relationships time to develop.
The Event Directory
A printed take-home directory helps attendees understand who is in the room and continue conversations after the event.
