FEATURING KEYNOTE SPEAKER BEN UTECHT
We’re excited to welcome Ben Utecht as the keynote speaker for the 2025 DriveValue.com Regional Summits. A former NFL tight end and Super Bowl champion with the Indianapolis Colts, Ben has successfully transitioned from the gridiron to the boardroom, now serving as a Chief Culture Officer and leadership strategist. His unique journey gives him a powerful perspective on building high-performing teams through belief, discipline, and shared purpose.
At the Regional Summits, Ben will share insights from his new book, The Champion’s Creed: Transform Your Culture Through the Power of Belief. In it, he introduces the “Culture Creed”—a dynamic tool for aligning team beliefs with business goals, fostering productivity, and creating a lasting culture of excellence. Drawing from his NFL experience and corporate leadership work, Ben delivers practical strategies that resonate with business owners at every level. All attendees will receive a free signed copy of The Champion’s Creed—a must-have resource for leaders looking to build stronger, more unified organizations.
THE EXPERIENCE
Each Drive Value Regional Summit includes:
Five Mainstage Sessions - 45-minute presentations by nationally recognized speakers and value growth experts covering topics that fuel business alignment, leadership, and significance.
The Power Session - Five hot topics. Five actionable insights. One TED-style, rapid-fire session built to inspire quick wins and real action.
Panel Discussions - Hear from local speakers, chapter leaders, and business owners on regional trends and real-life value creation stories that help you align your business, personal, and financial goals.
Lunch, Networking & Happy Hour - Because the best conversations don’t happen in breakout rooms—they happen over a meal and a drink.
WHY ATTEND
These aren’t just another day-long seminars — they are part of a national movement to help owners rethink success, create impact, and build companies that last. All programming is powered by DriveValue.com, the Exit Planning Institute’s national platform built for owners who want more than just an exit.
