Louisville Delivered Big:
Recapping Sior Global's Record-Setting Fall Event
SIOR members from around the world gathered in Louisville for the 2025 Fall Event — and the energy was unmistakable. With more than 1,100 attendees, this year’s program became the second-largest fall event in SIOR history, underscoring the continued momentum and engagement across our global network.
Over several high-impact days, members participated in thought-provoking general sessions, market-driven breakout discussions, and invaluable networking opportunities that sparked new relationships and business opportunities. From macro-economic insights to practical deal-making strategies, the conference delivered timely, real-world takeaways for practitioners across every market segment.
A number of conference sessions are now available online for those who would like to revisit key presentations — or catch up if you were unable to attend. We encourage members to take advantage of this content:
