Work ON Your Business, Not In It: What to Expect at the 2026 Pickleball Innovators Summit

Curious about the 2026 Pickleball Innovators Summit and what all it entails? In this Discovery Session webinar, Editor-in-Chief Rachel Chonko sits down with Mitch Dunn, founder of The Pickle Lodge and returning attendee, and Andrew Herrera, Director of Specification Sales at LSI Industries and returning sponsor, to pull back the curtain on what the Summit actually looks and feels like from the inside. They cover the intimate, working-session format that sets it apart from traditional industry events, the peer-to-peer round tables where operators share the nitty-gritty of what’s actually working (and what isn’t), and the intentional networking design that ensures you leave knowing nearly everyone in the room. You’ll also get a preview of this year’s round table topics — court utilization, programming and revenue, member retention, leadership and culture, and youth and beginner growth — plus a look at the special Q&A session with an EVP at The Bay Club Company. The 2026 Summit takes place October 12–14 at the Westin La Paloma Resort and Spa in Tucson, Arizona. Spots are limited to 45 operators. If you’re an owner, founder, GM, or multi-location operator wondering whether this event deserves a spot on your calendar, this is the place to start.
