FPP IRL SUMMIT

Our annual flagship event for members-only.

An immersive experience of workshops, networking, and strategic growth for your business.

FPP IRL is an opportunity for our members to learn, connect, and work on our businesses, not just in them.

JOIN US FOR FPP IRL 2026!

We're heading to Denver! FPP IRL 2026 kicks off September 28th at the stunning Denver Performing Arts Complex, and we couldn't be more excited to bring this community together in person. Here's what's in store:

Meet Wandia Chiuri, Our Keynote Speaker

Wandia Chiuri is the CEO of Reactionpower, the executive authority platform that converts C-suite presence into measurable revenue. She has advised more than 1,250 leaders at companies like Nike, Apple, Google, Disney, and Samsung, work that has shaped over eighteen billion dollars in captured revenue and roughly ten times faster deal velocity for the executives she partners with.

She works at the intersection of brand, board-level positioning, and demand generation, where she builds the kind of market presence that compresses sales cycles and rewrites who CEOs decide to trust.

At FPP IRL 2026, she's bringing the Reactionpower system to Denver, translating HR impact into the language CEOs buy and sending attendees home market-ready.

Also joining us in Denver: Colleen Arturi

Founder, The Story Shoppe | Creator of OurTypes®

In a room full of fractional HR leaders, everyone has credentials. So what makes you the one a CEO calls? Colleen says it's not your methodology. It's you.

Colleen has spent over a decade helping founders, executives, and fractional leaders put words to what makes them different. After building brands at IKEA, IDEO, and BBDO, she kept seeing the same thing: brilliant people hiding behind generic language.

Using her OurTypes® framework, she'll walk you through the storytelling work most professionals skip, so you leave with sharper positioning and language that makes your value clear to buyers outside the HR world.
