Champions Summit

In June 2025, Craig Senyk Initiatives partnered to put on the first ever Champions Summit for Rising Executives. This immersive one-and-a-half-day event brought together a carefully selected group of rising executive leaders, Olympic and professional athletes, and award-winning musicians—each driven by the pursuit of excellence in their respective fields.

More than just a conference, the event was the launchpad for lasting connections, high-value networking, and ongoing executive and performance coaching cohorts—ensuring that the next generation of Calgary’s business leaders is equipped to rise, lead, and thrive at the highest level.
