CONFERENCE RECAP

Julie Elliott, President

We haven’t shared much about Insight 2026 (partly because you have kept us busy applying all the insights you received) but wanted to share a quick recap. 

First, the whole event was… well, different. We were in a high-rise office building in downtown KC, spread out over multiple spaces — which was an intentional reflection of what we wanted to do: give participants space to think, plan and collaborate.

Many clients know us for surveys but are surprised by everything else we do. So for the conference, we created a workbook to help better understand our services for both seasoned and new clients, as well as those we've never worked with before.

Check out the digital version here, and if you’re the type who likes to highlight, flag ideas and make notes, let us know and we’ll mail you a hard copy.

Because we get our best ideas from our clients, we included roundtables where our guests could share best practices and struggles and ideas. There was one problem with these sessions — they were too short. So we’re starting a virtual version of these sessions! Read on to find out more. 

We’re definitely biased, but we think our Insight 2026 video captured the event perfectly, so check it out. And thanks to the clients (those not in witness protection) who were willing to get on camera and give us a shout-out. You can find all the videos here (more to come) — but you’ll need to supply your own popcorn.

NEW: VIRTUAL ROUNDTABLES

Julie Crook, Chief Operating Officer and Michele Cavin, Client Success Specialist

Virtual Roundtable - Where Ideas and Connections Come Together

One of the biggest takeaways from Insight 2026 was that our roundtable discussions ended just as the best conversations were getting started.   

That's why we’re launching our new Virtual Roundtables—a place where you can connect with peers, share ideas, ask questions, and learn from one another in a casual, interactive setting. These one-hour discussions are designed to bring together small groups of people from across the country to tackle timely topics, share practical solutions and make new friends.

Data centers are one of the biggest challenges for cooperatives today, so they will be our topic for August roundtables.

Make plans now to join colleagues to discuss what members are saying about data centers, how they're responding, and what's working in their communities.

Select a time that works best for you on Monday Aug. 24, Tuesday Aug. 25, or Thursday Aug. 27.

Want to see an example? We've been helping Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative with a Net Promoter Score campaign that includes an email explaining what data centers are, why they're important, and how they may impact electric cooperatives.

Whether you're already fielding questions or simply preparing for future conversations, we hope you'll join us for the discussion—and leave with ideas you can put to work right away.

Registration is limited so save your spot today!

NEW FEATURE: LIVEBOARDS

Autumn Kaderly, Data Analyst

Liveboards are a new feature coming to your Vortex, it’s our new and innovative way to view your email stats.  

They show how your emails are performing in real time and also allow you to filter statistics and data however you'd like! The liveboards also have AI capabilities on the different panels and charts so you can ask questions about your data.

PRO TIP: Hover over the section to see the "Spotter" dog button.

We're phasing in this tool, so stay tuned as they are created. If yours isn't ready, it will be soon! We'll be contacting you to do a demo whenever yours is ready to go.
