SUMMARY:STC26 VIP Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:Calling all owners\, operators\, management\, and decision makers:\n\n\n\nJoin us for an exclusive VIP Breakfast during our 2026 Spring Training Conference! \n\nVIP Breakfast: Key Business Metrics + Industry Trends (with guided conversation + Q&A)\n\n\n\nJoin Mark Tomko for a practical\, owner-to-owner session designed for decision makers who want to sharpen performance\, protect margins\, and grow with confidence even as private equity reshapes the competitive landscape. You'll dig into the handful of KPIs that drive outcomes (cash\, labor\, retention\, backlog\, pricing power)\, what industry signals are worth watching right now\, and how to respond when PE-backed platforms are bidding up talent and buying market share. \n\nExpect a candid\, interactive conversation less theory\, more "here's what worked\, here's what hurt\, and here's what I'd do next" plus plenty of time for Q&A on small business growth\, execution rhythms\, and competing without getting forced into someone else's game.\n\nMark Tomko is a Colorado green-industry operator known for building and leading large\, service-heavy landscape businesses by staying relentlessly focused on the numbers and the people behind them. He's the founder of Valor Landscape (founded in 1987) and has been featured by Lawn & Landscape for his "know your numbers" discipline posting budgets vs. actuals and using clear\, shared metrics to keep teams aligned. He also led Metco Landscape through a private equity investment\, giving him firsthand perspective on what changes when capital-backed competitors enter (and consolidate) your market. \nAdvanced Registration required.\n\nRegistration will include access to the trade show\, but will NOT include access to conference education sessions. Conference education sessions will only be open to registered conference attendees.\n\n\n\nLikewise\, conference registration does NOT include access to the VIP breakfast\, but owners\, operators\, management\, and decision makers attending the conference are welcome and encouraged to purchase tickets to this exclusive event. \n\n\n\nFor conference information and registration\, please click here.\n\np.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px\; font: 15.0px Helvetica\; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000}\nspan.s1 {font-kerning: none}\nspan.s2 {font: 19.0px Helvetica\; font-kerning: none\; color: #0170c0\; -webkit-text-stroke: 0px #0170c0}
