Three levels of immersive activities, scrumptious food, and live music are just some of the opportunities guests will have to jump start their conference experience. ELEVATE's Welcome Celebration takes place Monday evening, October 29th with conference keynotes and breakout sessions beginning the morning of October 30th.

The main floor is the "Together We Are Inspired" floor, mid-level is the "Empowered" floor, and the top-level is the "Reimagined" floor.

ELEVATE's Hero Lounge is where guests can recharge their mind, feet, appetites, phones, and more. Command Alkon's story is a collection of stories from heroes around the Heavy Building Materials community. This lounge area equips attendees with industry insights through the customer success stories on display.

How does a newly branded Command Alkon hat sound? Guests can bring their company branded hat to the event check-in and participate in a hat swap. Any hats that attendees bring will be displayed in Command Alkon's Global Headquarters hat collection all year round.

Keeping up with the #ELEVATEnow series? The show will be on-site, and there is sure to be something of interest to see and hear. The show is always looking for new talent - a perfect opportunity for movers and shakers in the industry to get their time in the spotlight.
