Three hours. Two incredible speakers. One cow. Nearly 350 people. And far too many leadership takeaways to count.
The 2026 RED Conference brought together close to 350 members of our business community for a morning focused on something every organization needs: strong, intentional leadership.
And yes, there really was a cow.
From the moment attendees arrived, the energy was high. We gathered inside the incredible Frisco ISD Visual and Performing Arts Center, served Chick-fil-A for breakfast (yes, we had the new Chicken and Waffles), and couldn’t have asked for a better setting. The facility itself is impressive, but what made the experience even better was the Frisco ISD team behind it. Their staff worked incredibly hard alongside our Frisco Chamber team to ensure every detail was taken care of and our guests felt welcome.
It was especially fitting that our first speaker, Pete Hazzard, helped envision the very facility where we were gathered.

The mission of the Frisco Chamber of Commerce is to protect and promote commerce through advocacy, resources, and connections.

What We Do
Continuity planning is a required element for successful business and government agencies. Emergency managers and business continuity professionals alike address mitigation, response, and recovery planning issues. The purpose of ACP is to provide an environment for the exchange of experiences and information. This includes the identification of common planning needs and potential recovery response solutions, as well as networking opportunities through local and national alliances.
As the largest ACP Chapter in the US, and continuously hosting monthly meetings since 1986, our organization serves as a forum for business professionals working in the areas of business continuity, business resumption, disaster recovery, and other related emergency recovery functions. Membership in ACP is open to all professionals interested in the many fields of crisis management, business continuity, and disaster recovery. Our chapter represents the North Texas region and bordering states. Our membership extends to all parts of the Dallas / Ft. Worth metroplex and represents the majority of industries. Guests are always welcome and membership is required for continued meeting attendance, but the ROI on your minimal annual membership pays for itself year after year with all we offer our Chapter Members.
