What does “VIP only” mean? See the badge key Hide the key
Keynote The headline talk on the Main Stage. Included with every ticket. Nothing else is scheduled against it.
VIP only You need a Full Throttle VIP or Winner’s Circle ticket to get in. Pit Pass and Grandstand badges do not cover these.
Breakout A working session in the Breakout Room, open to every ticket holder. Seats fill on a first come basis.
RSVP Capped room. Put your name down at registration on the morning of the session or you will not get a seat.
Heavy Hitters A revenue bracket roundtable. You sit with operators running the same size business you are, not a mixed room.
Approval Tighter than an RSVP. Seats are reviewed before they are given out. Ask at registration and the team will confirm you.
Tentative Locked on the calendar, still being finalized. The time holds. The details may still move.

We’ve got a taco bar, tee boxes, plenty of room to kick back, and 150 people from across the industry under one roof.

This one is off site. BigShots Golf is about 1.3 miles south of Texas Motor Speedway, roughly a four minute drive. Do not go to the track Thursday night.

What runs on the Main Stage

The Main Stage never goes dark. Between keynotes, Eric “Big Juicy” Love keeps it moving with short segments, nothing over 15 minutes, so the floor and the Road Course stay busy.

Spotlight
Ten minutes. One company, one product, straight to the point.
Door prize drawing
Five minutes. You have to be standing there to win it.
Mic Drop
Fifteen minutes, live on stage, with speakers, operators, and manufacturers.
Road Course times posted on site

This is the part you can’t get from a catalog. Climb into the cab, run a truck around the course, and put the equipment through its paces before you spend a dollar on it.

Demos run through both show days between Main Stage programming, and everything stops during a keynote. The running order and participating companies are posted at the gate each morning.

Heavy Hitters roundtables by revenue

Four rooms, split by what your business actually does. You sit with operators at your stage instead of guessing which advice applies to you.
