The Montana Young Professionals Summit is an annual gathering aimed at bringing together ambitious and innovative emerging professionals from various industries across the state of Montana. The summit serves as a platform for networking, skill-building, and inspiration for the next generation of leaders in the region.

In a fast-paced and ever-changing professional landscape, resilience is no longer optional—it’s essential. The Montana Young Professional Summit returns on June 18 and 19, 2025, at the newly restored Paper Mill in downtown Billings, bringing together emerging leaders from across the state for a day designed to inspire growth, spark connections, and empower next-level leadership.

This year’s theme, “Rise to Resilience,” challenges attendees to embrace change, lead with confidence, and build the personal and professional tools needed to thrive in uncertain times.

The Summit will feature a compelling lineup of keynote speakers, including:

Kate Gladdin – International speaker and resilience coach with a focus on navigating adversity and leading with purpose.

Toby LaVigne – Executive coach and leadership strategist, guiding professionals through meaningful and sustainable growth.

You’ll also take part in interactive breakout sessions led by thought leaders like:

Dr. Paul Leavenworth, The Convergence Group – Focused on transformational leadership and organizational change.

Jessica Drain, Co-Founder of SewTites – Offering insights into entrepreneurial resilience and creative problem-solving.

Beyond the speaker sessions, the Summit offers hands-on workshops, networking opportunities, peer-to-peer engagement, and access to resources that support your growth well beyond the event.

Registration is now open, and more details will be shared in the coming weeks, including the full schedule, post-event socials, panel discussions, and breakout experiences.

We look forward to welcoming you to a day designed to equip, connect, and elevate Montana’s rising leaders.
Let’s rise—together.
