The attendee experience is made up of countless small moments - and our brand partners were part of many of them throughout the 2026 Innovators Summit.

Welcome bags greeted attendees with products from St. James Tea, Vital Proteins, and FlavCity, introducing them to some of the brands that would be part of their Summit experience throughout the week. Later, during the Summit’s closing celebration at Michigan Stadium, attendees enjoyed signature Huckleberry Lemonades featuring Blue Ice Vodka’s Huckleberry Vodka while exploring one of college sports’ most iconic venues.

A huge thank you to these brands for helping create thoughtful moments that attendees experienced from check-in through the closing celebration.

And thank you to our photography sponsor, Florida’s Sports Coast for capturing every moment.

An unforgettable venue. An unforgettable way to close out the Summit.

The final evening of the 2026 Innovators Summit brought attendees inside Michigan Stadium - the largest stadium in the United States and one of the most iconic venues in college sports. From taking in the view from the Jack Roth Stadium Club to stepping onto the field, it was an experience that showcased why Ann Arbor continues to be a premier destination for sports events.

And the stadium was only one chapter. All week, Compass took attendees past the agenda and into Ann Arbor itself - the restaurants, the local spots, the places that make a city worth traveling to – turning a conference trip into a full destination experience, arrival to departure.

A huge thank you to the Ann Arbor Sports Commission for sponsoring this unforgettable evening and for helping showcase the experiences that make Ann Arbor stand out.

The Innovators Summit is built on direct access to the people shaping what's next for the industry - and this year's Event Organizer Shark Tank delivered exactly that.

Organizations including 3STEP Sports, XTERRA, US Senior Pickleball, Prep Network, the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA), the NCAA, USA Table Tennis, the National Wheelchair Basketball Association, and more took the stage to share where they're headed, what opportunities are on the horizon, and what they value in a destination partner. Paired with Compass-powered networking and conversations throughout the Summit, those presentations sparked connections that will continue long after the event.

Thank you to TeamLinkt for sponsoring this experience, and to our photography sponsor, Florida's Sports Coast, for capturing another memorable Summit moment.
