NSCA Set to Hold 2025 XBO Experience

NSCA announces the second annual XBO (Excellence in Business Operations) Experience, designed to equip emerging leaders with the skills and insights they need to excel in commercial integration.

According to a statement from the association, "Whether they want to advance their careers or drive innovation within their organizations, all leaders in this industry need a strong foundation in business operations, financial acumen, and effective communication. The two-day XBO Experience provides a pathway for leaders of the future who know they face opportunities ahead -- but are ready to embrace change and lead with confidence."

A collaboration between NSCA and Ignite, the second annual XBO Experience will take place on October 28-29 in Austin, Texas. This year, attendees will learn actionable strategies and leadership skills as they listen to and participate in discussions about topics surrounding leading with confidence in uncertain times; anticipating, mitigating, and adapting to risk; leveraging technology to empower teams; problem-solving to shape success; discovering new ways to improve; making the most of project management tools; building stronger and more powerful connections; having an ownership mindset; and secrets to influencing and impacting organizational outcomes.

Attendees also get to take part in interactive learning activities as they experience industry challenges with real-world relevancy.

First-time XBO Experience attendees are also encouraged to apply for the Jeff M. Kindig Future Leaders Scholarship. It allows qualified individuals to attend at no cost, continuing his legacy of eliminating barriers that prevent young professionals from rising to leadership roles.

Registration for the two-day event is $400 for NSCA members (non-members, please call the office). For more information, contact NSCA at 800.446.6722 or visit www.nsca.org/events/xbo/.
