In the restoration world, leadership doesn’t always feel like leadership.

More often, it feels like you’re stuck in the weeds, juggling estimates, scheduling crews, training new hires, fielding client calls, and still trying to find time to think about growth strategy. The workload is heavy, and the space to lead effectively. Nearly nonexistent.

That’s why the RTI Owners & Managers Retreat, powered by Lever360, was created.

And in 2025, we’re inviting you to join a focused community of restoration professionals ready to recharge, refocus, and lead forward, with real tools, real systems, and a renewed sense of purpose.

What to Expect

The RTI Owners & Managers Retreat isn’t a typical industry conference filled with surface-level presentations and crowded vendor halls. It’s a purpose-built experience, engineered to provide you with the time, tools, and clarity to improve how you lead and grow your restoration business. From the moment you walk into the space, you’ll feel the shift. This is a room full of people who understand what it means to carry the weight of a company and are looking for the same thing: sustainable, practical growth, and development.

Over two focused days, you’ll participate in hands-on workshops that push you to think differently and lead intentionally. These sessions don’t just talk about theory; they walk you through solving the exact challenges you’re facing today. You’ll collaborate with other restoration professionals, exchanging strategies, frameworks, and operational insights in a way that only happens when you get out of your bubble and into a room of peers who truly get it.

The retreat is also deeply practical. Every session, discussion, and exercise is designed to generate real, plug-and-play tools you can bring back to your team immediately. Whether it’s a hiring process, a workflow, a leadership framework, or a new perspective on team accountability, you’ll leave equipped. And it’s not just about tools, it’s about the people. The camaraderie you’ll build with fellow leaders and the confidence that comes from hearing “I’ve been there too” is what makes this retreat not only impactful, but unforgettable.

Who Should Attend

The RTI Owners & Managers Retreat is built specifically for leaders in the restoration industry who are ready to elevate from “doer” to strategic driver. If you own a restoration company, run the day-to-day as a general manager, or lead a team within operations or production, this retreat is for you. It’s for those who’ve grown successful businesses but still feel pulled in every direction, struggling to find the time or structure to focus on long-term growth and leadership development.

It’s also designed for restoration professionals who know they’re capable of more but need the right environment to think, plan, and reimagine their role in the company. Whether you’re a seasoned owner scaling a multi-crew operation or a rising leader still wearing multiple hats, the retreat meets you where you are and gives you a clear path forward.

This is not an event for passive listeners. It’s for decision-makers who are ready to shift from reactive firefighting to proactive leadership. It’s for those who want to align their team, build better systems, and create businesses that can thrive with or without their constant involvement. If you’re looking to lead with more clarity, impact, and support, this is where that transformation begins.

Why This Retreat Works: Camaraderie. Collaboration. Practical Growth.

Each year, leaders come to the Owners & Managers Retreat looking for solutions, and leave with something much more powerful: renewed clarity and connection.

What sets this event apart isn’t just the content (although the frameworks are proven and the toolkits are plug-and-play). It’s the camaraderie that emerges when you’re in a room full of people who speak your language. It’s the collaboration that happens when you’re given space to workshop your biggest challenges, surrounded by leaders who’ve walked a similar path. And most importantly, it’s the practical growth that follows when you leave with tools you can use, not just notes to file away.

Where Restoration Meets Innovation

This isn’t just another retreat, it’s the Restoration Technical Institute experience, reimagined for a new era. Now powered by Lever360, the trusted merger of iRestore and RTI.

Throughout the retreat, you’ll see how education and operations truly align, providing not just tools, but levers to elevate your business. From the classroom to the job site, you’ll witness how Lever360 solutions are designed to scale teams, systems, and success with simplicity and purpose.

What You’ll Walk Away With

When you leave the RTI Owners & Managers Retreat, you’ll walk away with more than inspiration.

You’ll have clarity on your role as a leader, not just an operator. You’ll return with systems that reduce chaos, frameworks that align your team, and the confidence to lead with both purpose and process. And perhaps most importantly, you’ll have a community of restoration leaders in your corner, long after the event ends.
